Clown on the center stage

Dance for the fools who follow

Empowered with empty words

Isn't it hard to swallow

Promise a better world

Deliver only pain and hardship

Pawn in the greater game

And the scale will never tip

Never see, never know

You're watching a puppet show

Crack a smile, see it grow

Parading in a puppet show

Empty, devoid of reason

A shell that they control

Nothing left within you

Still you play the role

A smiling face spitting lies

They nod in acceptance

A dying nation cries for you

There's still no repentance
