Plodding on a broken wheel Afraid of learning what is real Pained with thought they'll not reveal Ashamed of how they really feel It makes them blind It makes them Dumb Ignorance the only symptom Hide your children Here they come Close your mind Become a victim (Chorus) Devastating mental war Twisted misconceptions of virtue Cloaks of clever words assure plague be placed on all of you A plague on you Politics and arrogance none of which is making sense Robbing meek under duress Wealth their only happiness It makes them mad It makes them hate There's no cure beyond this state Far too bad and much too late Close your eyes Accept your fate (Chorus Repeated with end effect)
