While we sit "Impuissant"

Without any power
watching the world burn
watching the war killing
thousands of innocent

Even those
taking on the streets
are reminded
who's really in power

Global warming
was too
inconvenient
Let's change
the narrative

Pandemic
recession
war

That ought
to do it!

More distraction needed?

Lets put
that president
in court

That will anger
half the population
while entertaining
the other half

Do you feel
laugh at yet?

Do you still believe
in this system?

The lies
are so blatant
You have
to be crazy
to survive
this world

By shutting down
and hoping
it's all going
to go away
we become
part of
the circus
part of the show

We are the meat
they will feed
to the lion
Dressed as clowns
in the arena
for a moment
we might realize
it was all a lie
before the beast
tear us apart
for the rest
of the world
to laugh
and for a moment
be entertained

Giving up on our humanity
on our intelligence
on our common sense
We don't trust
each other anymore

Only the warm
fuzzy glow of
the screen
that keep us
comfortably numb
we give
our full
allegiance

The ones in control
couldn't be that
evil? Right?

They have
a plan B
for the planet
right?

I'd rather
take a dictator
over a false
democracy

At least
there would be
no lies
