A ghoul sits on a stool and makes a rule fit for a fool
And so a tool cruelly makes off with your gold
Proud 'cause he's allowed, legally endowed wrapped in a shroud
You bowed and thanked him loudly for his cold shoulder
A sheep asleep so deep
You keep doing as you're told
After all it's such a ball to be so utterly controlled
By forces you can't see who whisper it's your luxury
To be another in some bigger brother's stranglehold
And it's hard to be a king in the clothing of a peasant
Hard to see the future and be shackled in the present
Hard to be so clear when everything else so clearly isn't
Oh Lord grant me safer passage
Oh Lord grant me safer passage
A pig, he takes a swig, he digs a fig and snaps a twig
He's a bigwig on his rig and don't forget it
You cry and think to lie but it's his sty
Why even try when you can spy it in his eye you're going to get it?
At 9 you wait in line to pay the fine and brave the swine
Because the crime is the design's designed against you
It's true it's revenue, the royal screw no matter what you do
This crew don't give a damn if they've incensed you
Hell they laugh because they've already dispensed with you
And it's hard to be a king in the clothing of a peasant
Hard to see the future and be shackled in the present
Hard to be so clear when everything else so clearly isn't
Oh Lord grant me safer passage
Oh Lord grant me safer passage
What else is there to say about the M-E-D-I-A and the realities at play on television?
Of course we disagree but why can't everybody see
That the obvious decree here is division?
Everyone I know's at odds
An embarrassment of false gods with celebrity and gossip now religion
This fake two party system just a twisted mechanism
That tricks us into thinking we're assisting a decision
And it's hard to be a king in the clothing of a peasant
It's hard to see the future and be shackled in the present
Hard to be so clear when everything else so clearly isn't
Oh Lord grant me safer passage
Oh Lord grant me safer passage
Oh Lord grant me safer passage
Oh Lord grant me safer passage
