Conspiracy

You've got to pick a side but you don't understand You've got to cast a vote you've got to raise your hand You know you must act but you don't have a plan You know if you fail we will all be damned When friends turn against friends When the means justify the ends When a simple truth offends And the tone descends&ellip; It's just hysteria Are you feeling it? Are you spreading it? Can't you see they're all delirious? And they're furious It's getting serious It's all precarious Are you feeling the hysteria You've got to take a side make a decision You've got to make a mark with care and precision The world can change and it's hinged on your choice Don't go unheard; you should raise your voice When lies justify lies And the truth finally dies When respect no longer applies Will you open your eyes? It's just hysteria Are you feeling it? Are you spreading it? Can't you see they're all delirious? And they're furious It's getting serious It's all precarious Are you feeling the hysteria It's just hysteria Are you feeling it? Are you spreading it? Can't you see they're all delirious? And they're furious It's getting serious It's all precarious Are you feeling the hysteria

They're out to get us but nobody believes The evidence is plain as day but nobody can see I've got the proof but they won't listen to me I know the truth and the truth will set you free You see the patterns, but they're illusory Paranoia inspires the fantasy Be careful as the story gets crazier Don't cut yourself with Occam's razor They rule the world but they stay out of sight In the shadows avoiding the light It's all controlled by a sinister cabal But no one sees: they stay hidden from you all You see the patterns, but they're illusory Paranoia inspires the fantasy Be careful as the story gets crazier Don't cut yourself with Occam's razor The enemy outside - aiming to disrupt The enemy within - there's no one you can trust The enemy above - works for their own gain The enemy below - forcing social change You see the patterns, but they're illusory Paranoia inspires the fantasy Be careful as the story gets crazier Don't cut yourself with Occam's razor

Don't try to block my view when I look to the sky Don't try to hold me down when I want to fly Don't try to silence me when I want to sing Don't try to hold me back when I spread my wings Don't clip my wings I'm not your pet I'm not your slave I am not yours to control I'm not your toy I will not play My life is not yours to withhold You turn to stare I feel the glare I feel exposed I'm sure you know Don't try to block my view when I look to the sky Don't try to hold me down when I want to fly Don't try to silence me when I want to sing Don't try to hold me back when I spread my wings Don't clip my wings The skies are clear Bright and blue And I feel safe to fly But then you come Like a storm And somehow you must deny me Am I a threat that must be crushed? Why can't you let me put myself first? Don't try to block my view when I look to the sky Don't try to hold me down when I want to fly Don't try to silence me when I want to sing Don't try to hold me back when I spread my wings Don't clip my wings I don't care what you say: I'm going to fly free There's nothing more that you can do to stop me Don't try to block my view when I look to the sky Don't try to hold me down when I want to fly Don't try to silence me when I want to sing Don't try to hold me back when I spread my wings Don't clip my wings

I take the glory and you take the heat I taste the victory, you taste defeat Each time we win, I climb a bit higher But as soon as we lose, you're getting fired Scapegoat - you take the fall Scapegoat - you're to blame for it all Scapegoat - you'll wear the disgrace Scapegoat - easily replaced I take the plaudits and you take the blame You get the infamy, I get the fame Every success will be in my name And when we lose you'll go down in flames Scapegoat - you take the fall Scapegoat - you're to blame for it all Scapegoat - you'll wear the disgrace Scapegoat - easily replaced Sooner or later I'll make a mistake The public will all be crying for blood When we need somebody to burn at the stake You'll quickly find your name becomes mud I drop the ball and you catch the heat It might be my fault but you'll be discrete There's blame to go round and it comes round to you When the buck stops it comes to you too Scapegoat - you take the fall Scapegoat - you're to blame for it all Scapegoat - you'll wear the disgrace Scapegoat - easily replaced
