Under a Lie

There was no proof enough
So it was decided to call off
The investigation of fraud

That involved some politicians
Accused of money laundering
The witnesses silenced
The case closed like this

A matter of justice, and it seems to me
That law doesn't apply to everyone

We've become the guilty victims
Of a narrow-minded world
And somewhere someone will
Brag about it

Spending time wondering why
While the issue spreads
And people sell themselves
Until the circle ends
To start all over again
Times of change, they feel like the same
It feels like I've seen it before
Or maybe can't ignore
The values that build society
Above our lives, behind a lie

That since I was born they tell me
That everyone's equal in the eyes of the law
But freedom depends on who you are

All the ways of pulling the strings
To remind us where we belong
Down there somehow the things
End up like this

Spending time wondering why
While the issue spreads
And people sell themselves
Until the circle ends
To start all over again
Times of change, they feel like the same
It feels like I've seen it before
Or maybe can't ignore
The values that build society
Above our lives, behind a lie

Spending time wondering why
While the issue spreads
And people sell themselves
Until the circle ends
To start all over again
Times of change, they feel like the same
It feels like I've seen it before
Or maybe can't ignore
The values that build society
Above our lives, behind a lie
