Sugar coated lies
Said as though they’re right
They’d show us just the pretty things
To make each one of us believe
Saying only what we’d like to hear as they try
To blind our sight with candy and lullabies

Hear the puppets speak
Tell us what’s holy
From your house of white on the hill
No one’s looking, go for the kill
But tell us of victory, don’t speak of a death
Don’t tell our boy’s mothers how they drew their last breath

Plastic elephants,
Plastic donkeys in
Uneven rows so you can’t see
Different shapes from all the same piece
They march down the streets promise freedom as their prize
Speaking once again the candy and lullabies
