Bent - Queensrÿche

Same old lies, sequester the nonbelievers

Don’t forgive the ones who trespass against us

Smiling deceivers, painted faces by the wishing well

You don’t even trust yourself

Why do we face the same things if change is a constant?

Have we not learned from the past, from the past!

The stillborn star we’ll never know

The parent’s love that won’t let go

The bullied teen that’s ready to shoot

A tear and a 21 gun salute

Welcome to the age of misinformation

Seeking control, your reflection’s a stranger

Why do we face the same things if change is a constant?

Have we not learned from the past

As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me

As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me

Descending madness violently

The poisoning of tribes

To the lifeline of Flint

Now the black snake, it crawls deep within sacred grounds

We will never consent

The night-watch man just buying his time

An outcast, a resident, a transient, the punishment

One dollar bill, no table for two

So many questions no one ever asked

As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me

As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me

Descending madness violently

As we all fall down

As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me

Descending madness violently…
