Here again I find myself 
In the belly of the beast 
Trying to make sense 
Of all this ruin and decline 
There's no seat at the table for 
The beggars at the feast 
Or anybody unprepared to toe the line 

The dogs of war devour doves 
And beggars at the feet 
Hawks and greedy leaders 
That clap along and bare their teeth 
An insipid and compliant press 
In lockstep on the beat 
Splashing three word slogans 
Neither them or us believe 

Oh, please forgive that 
Step into the dark 
This road will lead us nowhere 
This path will see us lost 
Oh, I guess everybody's got 
A rubicon to cross 
The future's suffocating on 
An echo from the past 

It's all the same to me 
If you're red, green, white, black or blue 
It's your hands that hold the reins 
Your only mandate is the truth 
A guardian of future's 
For the ragged and the bruised 
A mouthpiece for the voiceless 
Not a vassal of the few 
The saying goes that people get 
The leaders they deserve 
Take a look at our leaders 
I guess that makes us all absurd 

Oh, please forgive that 
Step into the dark 
This road will lead us nowhere 
This path will see us lost 
Oh, I guess everybody's got 
A rubicon to cross 
The future's suffocating on 
An echo from the past 

The saying goes that people get 
The leaders they deserve 
Here we are in the belly of the beast
The saying goes that people get 
The leaders they deserve
