lyrics

[Joeseph Starling:]
Propagandist
It's always so easy for you
You'll always control all you see
Everything you do is good enough
You can always just scrape on through

Hypocrite
You'll never accept who they are
Never believe in their rights
Yet you'd fight for them half to the death
If it helped your desires

Mastermind
You want us to scream out your name
You want us to fear you
Well not this time
We'll never respect you
They'll try to forget you
But not this time
There's far too much fun to be had
In watching you struggle
As you watched us

[I Wish I Was (S.C.):]
I wish I was you
You've got all the power
Controlling the controller
Like a puppet on a string

I want to be free
But it's hard to imagine
What you'd say if you heard it
From his own mouth

I'd like to escape
Say the people in my country
In my land and his
They want to be rid of your tyranny once and for all

I wish I was you
You know that you're safe there
And even if he tries
To come up here
You know we'll never let him in
