Lyrics

The World is Watching

verse 1
Renee was just a mother, tryin' to make it through the day,
Caught up in all the madness when she tried to pull away.
And while her widow's cry was still hangin' in the air,
The powerful got busy tryin' to pin the blame on her...

chorus
Ooo, the...world...is...watchin'...they think we're out of our minds...
Yeah,...votin'...for...a...strongman, leavin' democracy behind.
We're livin' in a country
of his twisted design.

verse 2
Behind the velvet curtains where the power brokers meet,
He strolls in like a lonely king; swollen chaos at his feet.
Oil men trade their glances, like they're scared to breathe the air,
While he rants about his kingdoms and the enemies "out there."

bridge
I still don't understand...why...
We let him spin his lies...his lies...
And every truth and hope he buries...still survives...still survives...

pre-chorus
So he's dealin' smoke and mirrors...sellin' visions made of lies...
And the suits all nod along, afraid to look him in the eyes.

chorus
Ooo, the...world...is...watchin'...they think we're out of our minds...
Yeah....votin'...for...a...strongman, leavin' democracy behind.
We're livin' in a country
of his twisted design.

Outro
They think we're out of our minds...
...but hope still survives...

End
