So we suffer. So we suffer
Desensitized by their lies
Bombarded bluntly by their cries
The atrocities
These masters of their minions call
From their power-office tall
Cause to regulate
You know it's great to be alive
Even better if you're living
Burdens flung that break the back
In the grim hope that it's worth it
What did we do to ever suffer
They're replacing the reality with absurd terminology
Got their interests at heart
Reams and reams of filthy dealings
Self-justified, believing that they know best
Look at that greedy man
Smarming on the television
Telling us it's good for you
And it fills an empty belly
What did we do to ever suffer
These fools, these liars
These tricksters and thieves
They've duped, gulled and deceived us all
These swindlers, bigots, hoodlums in grey suits
Swindlers, bigots, hoodlums in grey suits
They've duped us all, they've duped us all
And they'll feed you to the dogs
Yeah, they'll feed you to the dogs
So we suffer for their art
And it's been like this from the start
They put a shotgun to your heart
And they make sure you play your part
So we suffer for their art
And it's been like this from the start
So we suffer, so we suffer
Monsters of hypocrisy, swanking in obscenity
They drag us down
An effervescent stream of bullshit
Monumental falsehoods to install obedience
You know that fact is always more absurd than fiction
Democracy - there's a joke
Every five years in the waiting
What did we do to ever suffer
And it goes on and on and on
On and on and on, on and on and on
On and on and on
And it goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
These fools, these liars, these tricksters and thieves
They've duped, gulled and deceived us all
They'll put a shotgun to your heart
And it's been like this from the start
As we suffer for THEIR art
And they make sure you play your part
And it goes: on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
And on and on and on
