The Great Pretenders
You go through this world like you're some soft-spoken priest
I hereby present you with a letter: cease and desist
Preachin' from your pulpit like you're morally blessed
But your pockets overflow while the people are stressed
Waving your power like a scepter in hand
As if you own the truth, as if you command
The masses to follow, the blind to believe
But your heart’s full of greed, and your words deceive
Smiling for the cameras, with your perfect grin
While behind closed doors, you play games and spin
Food prices skyrocket, folks can’t afford to eat
While rent climbs so high, they're thrown to the street
Mortgages breaking backs, evictions in stride
Yet you stack your riches, while others subside
You pontificate greatness, a self-made facade
But when we look closer, we see all the fraud
You rule with corruption, you move with deceit
But this is a call-out, and we won't retreat
So keep all your speeches, your power, your clout
‘Cause the people are waking, the truth's coming out
The time is upon you, we’re breaking the chain
Your reign is illusion; now welcome the rain.
