If you follow the script

Then someone has to lose

But it’s never the powerful

And never the guilty.

It changes with the wind

Because there is no loyalty among thieves

As we follow the day dreams of mad men

With insatiable greed. 

The fix is always in

Before they light up their cigars

Saying one thing to you

And another

Behind your back. 

The booty is divided

And given away as favors

Bought and sold in a day

And set out to drift. 

You never see it coming

The horrible destruction

As its always decided

Behind closed doors. 

Being good is no protection

And being loyal means nothing

Not to the corrupt

And not to the damned. 

Our work makes us nothing

But a hamster in a wheel

Because the end justifies the means

In revolutions per minute. 

Its anybody’s guess

When all of it ends

As the cogs break off

And the gears seize. 

There are days when you are needed

And there are days when you are not

But in the end

It is the pliable

That matters most. 

Easily led

And easily bought

Corrupted with the scraps

And disposed of at will. 

There it is

The truth and the lie

As to what has been done

And what it to come. 

Everything is temporary

And everything’s for show

All to say what we did

And how much we gave.  

But it is the heart

That matters most

The one thing they cannot see

And will never understand. 

The heart and the soul

The spirit and the mind

Greater in possibility

Than can be measured

In a line. 

All it takes is faith

And the willingness to risk

Faithful and unafraid

Courageous and true. 

Let them awaken

One by one

And two by two

Stronger than ten thousand

The good and the true.
