Charade
Narration
---------
You have all assembled here, because society has no further
use for you. We welcome you, not in friendip, or solidarity.
We welcome you in pain and guilt. We stand here on this bleak
cold and rainy day, not to accuse or exchange blame, for that
is done and over with. We are here to put an end to this.
Start
-----
Sitting under the neon lights
Making rules and having fights
Trembling hands under gray chins
Grave expressions and coat pins
Standing across the yard today
Waiting on the other side today
Seconds drop by and minutes too
God help us what can we do
Chorus
------
For we are the charade mongers
We were the leaders, but no longer
We were built to lead, now there's no need
Done and through with this life and we will be freed
hmmm
The people in the world are meek
And all they need is a sheperd
Just a role model to look up to
No leader, just an icon for the herd
So they are the perfect marketeers
Machining icons for your consumption
To go through the leadership charade
For all of it just no more than a facade
Chorus
------
For we are the charade mongers
We used to lead, but no longer
Done with the stint, for us there's no need
Done and through with this life and we will be freed
They took us for the postures
Splashed across all those posters
We talked to you, and listened to you
We made you think you made a difference
But nothing really meant a damn at all
Behind us the wolves had a great ball
Coz we were just the dirty hands
Nothing to do with any of those promised lands
Chorus
------
For we are the charade mongers
We were the leaders, but no longer
We were built to lead, now there's no need
Done and through with this life and we will be freed
