MANIPULATION

Forget all history it didn't happen that way
That is what they say
No one ever owned you we were all naturally free
That is what they believe
Even when you were borne here your still from a different land
But they say you’re not really a man

Manipulation of history
It is meant to deceive
Just so they can take everything

Why do we pray for innocent blood spilt on guilty ground
If a mother's cries are not heard did it really make a sound
Blamed for being a victim and the punishment is death
How did we get here when it is the past we forget

Manipulation of justice
In peace we will march
They will call it society's destruction

You accomplish so much but it isn't enough
Even if you’re a leader of the free world it is tough
The good that you do to them it is the worst you could do
But when they talk about it they sound so foolish

Manipulation of lies
With their pointed muzzle and bushy tail
Make you into the worst kind of believer

The preacher will say the one up high wants me to have all the gold
The congregation will pay him till their poor
Without any food for the soul
He'll say the proof is in the good book
They will believe even when he doesn't know

Manipulation of souls
One day he might burn or just left out in the cold

To know what it is like to be alone
