I came into an offensive, world
uncontaminated and defenseless
where the evil mask themselves, with beauty

undetected by the senseless

Just like you

I was hypnotized
by the colors of a tv screen
it seems the power of suggestion

is all we really need

to toss our values out the window

one by one
until we're nothing but a shadow
of who we used to be

to find our conscience second guessing
right from wrong
until we realize it's missing


I say I'm just a victim
of the nonsense that surrounds us

in our innocence they found us
can you hear the sound of
evil in our voices


I'm just a captive
of the weaknesses that claim us

and the countless sins that stain us
can you feel the pain of
evil in our choices


Let's not consume what we know makes us sick
Let's not $$#ume that our minds are healthy

If you think it's all for show you've been tricked
If evil's spendable the world is wealthy
