๐ Lyrics
They smile for the cameras, shake a thousand hands
Making promises we know will sink like sand
They talk about freedom, they say we have a choice
But in the end, it's just a muted voice
They smile and wave from their golden thrones
While we break our backs and work to the bones
They promise change, but it's all the same
Playing that good ol' power game
They say they're here to serve us all
But we know better, we see the wall
Behind closed doors, deals are made
While the people's hopes just slowly fade
*Go on, do call it a democracy*
*But to me, it seems just a big hypocrisy*
*With all this bureaucracy*
*And the world is full of mediocrity*
They stand on their stages, say they're on our side
But in their secret rooms, the truth is hard to hide
They're playing their games, but we're the ones who lose
We cast our votes, but do we really choose?
*Go on, do call it a democracy*
*But to me, it seems just a big hypocrisy*
*With all this bureaucracy*
*And the world is full of mediocrity*
They'll change the rules, but the game stays the same
And every move they make, they say we're to blame
But we see through the lies, we know the score
This isn't what we signed up for
*Go on, do call it a democracy*
*But to me, it seems just a big hypocrisy*
*With all this bureaucracy*
*And the world is full of mediocrity*
They talk of justice, truth, and peace
But the lies just never seem to cease
A puppet show, a grand charade
We're just the audience they've betrayed
They speak of freedom, rights, and voice
But when do we ever get a choice?
The ballots cast, the votes they claim
Yet nothing changes, it's all a game
And they say we're free, they say we're wise
But we can see through the thin disguise
They build their empires, brick by brick
While we're left here, feeling sick
So raise your glass to the status quo
And watch the charade continue to grow
*Go on, do call it a democracy*
*But to me, it seems just a big hypocrisy*
*With all this bureaucracy*
*And the world is full of mediocrity*
So they can keep their speeches, their grand design
We'll keep on searching for a truth to find
But until that day comes, we'll sing this song
Knowing that in their world, we don't belong
Yeah until that day comes, we'll sing this song
Knowing that in their world, we don't belong
We don't belong
Making promises we know will sink like sand
They talk about freedom, they say we have a choice
But in the end, it's just a muted voice
They smile and wave from their golden thrones
While we break our backs and work to the bones
They promise change, but it's all the same
Playing that good ol' power game
They say they're here to serve us all
But we know better, we see the wall
Behind closed doors, deals are made
While the people's hopes just slowly fade
*Go on, do call it a democracy*
*But to me, it seems just a big hypocrisy*
*With all this bureaucracy*
*And the world is full of mediocrity*
They stand on their stages, say they're on our side
