The masters pretended there were lions in the den
Rounded up all innocents into a great bullpen
Set fire to cities filled with children
And told us the answers all lay with them
This is how we lost our faith
The changes came quickly and not without a word
A nation, ignorant, left so many unheard
But soon came the violent, the sullen, and the poor
Led by the richest delusions of grandeur
This is how we've lost our faith
They left us to face our fate
Some people clock in and clock out and wonder what comes next
They spend all their money on meaningless objects
They go to church crying that they're left with nothing
If they opened their eyes they'd see the world is stunning
This is how we've lost our faith
They left us to face our fate
