lyrics

We should've known that you would burn it down.
When the gears start to scratch, you always reach for the wrench,
then you throw it down in the cogs.
If we weren't so scared of all the shards of glass that might've rained down from the ceiling,
I don't know if we'd have ever even asked you for your help.

Oh I can't believe my eyes
The madman got elected to lead the blind.
You never truly realize
How the familiar can turn foreign on a dime.

We should've known you're not an honest man.
All your laws catch flies, but they always let the hornets go free.
Well, all your unpaid debts for your opulence will start weighing on your breathing.
I don't know if you could obfuscate your way around that.

Oh I can't believe my eyes
How do you argue with the people who believe their own lies?
