BLIND LIE

How high can you get before you look down and fall
Why do you hide when you claim you have it all
The truth may hurt but when you say it, it will not burn

Blind lie
You got the shovel you know how deep you can go
Blind lie
You got the rope the more you get you will still not touch the floor

Why do you lie?
Because it makes your ego sweet as pie
Why do you lie?
Because you want to see someone die

Blind lie
What is in it for you something shiny and new
Blind lie
You want to impress everyone are you having fun

Everyone is counting your lying words
When called out on your lack of facts
In  your mind, you start to squirm
You play the victim as you follow this path

BROWN MAN

Lost in your own world never thinking you're the fool
Everyone loving you but are you really that cool

Brown man
Do you listen to what you say before it comes out of your brain
Brown man
Denoising the many generations of pain trying to make up for it the next day

Bought into a load of white tricks when did you make that switch
What is in it for you what is there for you to prove

Brown man
Clam what you say take your own blame
Brown man
There is more to life than your own fame

Pandering to the tower-man's ego
Is selling out your soul even when you've been told

Brown man
You forgot the ancestors paved a path for you
Brown man
Soon that path will be blocked to you
