Lyrics
Oh Oh Oh can you be so cold
taking lives and acquiring gold
could it be the telling sign you lack
not able to keep your power in check
I've seen sunny days
I've also seen my loved ones laid in graves.
I've known waiting, for the truth it lags behind
Been around enough to know when the greed has taken hold
No more sound to give your voice a microphone
Oh Oh Oh Perty Man
You're the kind of man who likes to rev the throttle
I see you and your cruel eyes
Others think it's beauty in the making
You'll be strong and hold the line
Take our hands and turn them to the heavens
Lie to us and we won't mind
Till that day we suddenly awaken and you no longer get to be the perty man
All the children who have died adding to the death toll
By the big machine who's motors you control
Last chance to confess you sanctioned killing as a means to an end
Last chance to ignite the part of your soul that radiates light
Oh Oh Oh perty man, voted in by a crooked hand
Oh Oh Oh perty man, not qualified, but good looking
