Tangled web of lies

Tangled webs of lies
What is it that we criticise
Politicians, policies?
We call this a democracy?
Why then is it we cant see
That we aren't really free
And we hide all out insecurities
Behind masks even we cant see
But no one can see the ways
That we're controlled every day
New weapons same old ways

Repeating the wars of old
Like we were never told
Oh wait
Sad to say
We weren't told the truth of yesterday
Fighting wars pays
But we are the ones that pay
The price of tangled lies
Politicians compromise
Politically monitize
Costly battles pay the price
Unless we learn to live our lives
Only the past will  run our lives

As we dramitize
So we don't have to realize
Just how far we fall behind
Just how much the chains bind

The media runs our fucking lives
Brainwashed, dramatized
May freedom forever shine
Is a joke we'll pay the price
You call that news
I call it a distraction
A joke of a lie
Just as those who are hypnotized
Won't try to fight the therapist
So we don't fight
What we don't see

So we live on in
A tangled web of lies.
