I'm searching for the words
I'm looking for a way to renew my faith in humanity
Are people born bad? Are people born good
Or passive and controlled way too easily?
Something must have happened along the way
To cause this selfishness and hate
This greed and need for things
Everywhere I look it's take, take, take, take
[Chorus:]
You can close your eyes and live
In this dream that you've made
I promise you one night you'll wake up screaming
To the realization that all of this is fake
I promise you for some this night will never end
Will never end
I'm trying to find a way to understand
How people justify how much they take
White-collared crimes by well-dressed thieves
Everyday in the casinos on Wall street
Taking from the penniless
They die of thirst while your cup overfills
This greed and need to control
Everywhere I look it's take, take, take, take
[Chorus]
'Cause there are monsters among us
And there are some you can't see
They're disguised in their suits, nice shoes and ties
And they take vengeance on ethics and honesty
Can somebody tell me who's left to trust in this world?
A golden pass for upper class
A place on the bus for the rest of us
'Cause there are monsters among us
And there are some you can't see
They're disguised in their suits, nice shoes and ties
And they take vengeance on ethics and honesty
Somebody tell me who's left to trust in this world
A golden pass for upper class
A place on the bus for the rest of us
Oh, there are monsters among us
And there are some you can't see
They're disguised in their suits, nice shoes and ties
And they take vengeance on ethics and honesty
Somebody tell me who's left to trust in this world
A golden pass for upper class
A place on the bus for the rest of us
I'm looking for a way to renew my faith in humanity
Are people born bad? Are people born good
Or passive and controlled way too easily?
Something must have happened along the way
To cause this selfishness and hate
This greed and need for things
Everywhere I look it's take, take, take, take
[Chorus:]
You can close your eyes and live
In this dream that you've made
I promise you one night you'll wake up screaming
To the realization that all of this is fake
I promise you for some this night will never end
