Hey Citizen

from Hidden Enemy by Kingfisher

/

lyrics

Hey citizen, sit down for a sec, let me tell you how I'll leave you for dead
I don't care if you're starving and cold, shut your mouth and do what you're told
Hey citizen, back in the line, I swear I'll never leave you behind
We're all in it together, that's what I said, I guess we'll see where we land in the end

This is easy, you're all so naive, watch real close while I lie through my teeth
You all believe everything that you read, and I won't show you anything at all

Hey citizen, don't make a fuss, you can take another kick in the nuts
You gotta get home and stay for a stretch, excuse me though I've got a flight to catch

This is easy, you're all so naive, watch real close while I lie through my teeth
You all believe everything that you read
And it's clear to me that you can't resist, an agitating two faced hypocrite

Don't speak to us like you've got any right, we've got blood to bleed, and mouths to feed, and hearts filled up with spite
So when we push back, you'll jump on that, and shed some tears for show, I'm still surprised to see how low you can go

Hey citizen I'm at it again, I can smile like a trusty old friend
Never walk the talk that I'm giving you now, always get my way let me show you how
Hey citizen I swear I can change, I'll shout it loud while I stand on this stage
Give me your vote, I'll shield you from the rain, 'til the battle's been won, then it's more of the same

This is easy, you're all so naive, watch real close while I lie through my teeth
You all believe everything that you read
And it's clear to me that you can't resist, an agitating two faced hypocrite

Don't speak to us like you've got any right, we've got blood to bleed, and mouths to feed, and hearts filled up with spite
So when we push back, you'll jump on that, and shed some tears for show, I'm still surprised to see how low you can go

There's no way to explain why we put you in power, can't amend the past, but we'll fix it up now
Made some mistakes, but now you're exposed
We were ready for life on the open road, and should have known that we couldn't count on a Ford

Don't speak to us like you've got any right, we've got blood to bleed, and mouths to feed, and hearts filled up with spite
So when we push back, you'll jump on that, and shed some tears for show, I'm still surprised to see how low you can go
