I"m a prisoner of an insane regime.
They let me walk around, but I can not leave.
Their control here is almost complete.
The last step now is for me to believe.
Believe that they"re trying or that and they really mean well.
Believe they can"t see and that they think they offer hope.
I know that they don"t but they won"t leave it alone. No.
Their faces all smiles and their rhetoric choice.
The common line 'It"s the best that we"ve got.'
Their fallback defense is that they don"t know
and they"ve asked and they"ve asked but I can not say so.
They know! They know! They know!
They know! They know! They know!
This place is a lifeboat and the captains got this grin
that makes me want to jump over board and swim
as hard as I can. Away from it all.
There is nowhere to go. So I stay and I row.
I want the safety of home, but they keep saying no.
"You do the work, we"ve got it all figured out. Just row!"
Their faces all smiles and their rhetoric choice.
The common line 'It"s the best that we"ve got.'
Their fallback defense is that they don"t know
and they"ve asked and they"ve asked but I can not say so.
They know! They know! They know!
They know! They know! They know!
You know you"re safe somewhere inside,
So you take your time.
While you wait it"s life.
So don"t claim you tried.
Their faces all smiles and their rhetoric choice.
The common line 'It"s the best that we"ve got.'
Their fallback defense is that they don"t know
and they"ve asked and they"ve asked but I can not say so.
They know! They know! They know!
They know! They know! They know!
I can tell you something about the cards that they hold.
They like to have you believe that they don"t but they know.
They"ve come to their pulpits they want my support.
They say we"re doing our best. You"ve go to know, but I don"t.
They know! They know! They know!
They know! They know! They know!
They know! They know! They know!
They know! They know! They know!
