Scratch the surface
See what lies within
Nothing's as it seems
In this tangled web of deceit
Maintain control
Stripped of independent thought
Swallow the lies, all of the time
Why don't you open up your eyes

Behind the mask of deceit
Lies the face of the elite
Enslaving humanity
In the land of the free
Everlasting fear
Everlasting low
A product of their greed
A product of our time

Inside the fear is growing
Machines of war need oiling
To fuel the fires of hate
Illuminate the skies
They build the brightest bombs
If only to right the wrongs
If you believe it you must be blind
Why don't you open your eyes

Behind the mask of deceit
Lies the face of the elite
Enslaving humanity
In the land of the free
Everlasting fear
Everlasting low
A product of their greed
A product of our time

Our time
Everlasting fear

Everlasting fear
Controls you
Controlled you from the start

My pound of flesh is yours to own
The holy lands are where you want to go
Strike your fellow man down with one blow
One…
Blow

Can't understand the political mind
Behind the process, plastic smiles
A black agenda hidden from view
Unleash the dogs of war
Maintain control
Increase the flow of oil
The long black rivers of gold
Leading to the promised land

To the promised land

Everlasting fear
Everlasting low
Everlasting fear
Everlasting low

Behind the mask of deceit
Lies the face of the elite
Enslaving humanity
In the land of the free
Everlasting fear
Everlasting low
A product of their greed
A product of our time

Our time
Everlasting fear

Everlasting fear
Controls you
Controlled you from the start
