While we sit "Impuissant" 

Without any power
watching the world burn
watching the war killing
thousands of innocent

Even those 
taking on the streets
are reminded
who's really in power

Global warming
was too 
inconvenient
Let's change
the narrative

Pandemic 
recession
war

That ought 
to do it!

More distraction needed?

Lets put 
that president 
in court 

That will anger 
half the population
while entertaining
the other half

Do you feel 
laugh at yet?

Do you still believe 
in this system?

The lies
are so blatant
You have
to be crazy
to survive
this world

By shutting down
and hoping 
it's all going 
to go away
we become 
part of
the circus
part of the show

We are the meat
they will feed
to the lion
Dressed as clowns
in the arena
for a moment
we might realize
it was all a lie
before the beast
tear us apart
for the rest
of the world
to laugh 
and for a moment
be entertained

Giving up on our humanity
on our intelligence
on our common sense
We don't trust 
each other anymore

Only the warm 
fuzzy glow of 
the screen  
that keep us
comfortably numb
we give 
our full 
allegiance 

The ones in control
couldn't be that 
evil? Right?

They have 
a plan B 
for the planet 
right?

I'd rather
take a dictator
over a false
democracy

At least
there would be 
no lies
