Dead City Casuals - Doesn't Have to Be Lyrics

Doesn't have to be
This way
Open your eyes to the world around you
Does it seem how it's meant to be?
The lives of me and you
How could it be untrue?
This is all those eyes have ever seen
Would you believe that you're living in another's belief?
Reality controlled by the minority
Doesn't have to be
The way it is now
The way it is now
Doesn't have to be
This way
They control what is on the screen before you
Turn your head and pay no attention to
The man behind the curtain
The wolf that's dressed in sheepskin
Having you believe he's the same as you
But how could he ever be like you or me?
When his whispers are louder than a million screams?
Doesn't have to be
The way it is now
The way it is now
Doesn't have to be this way
When so few people can control it all
It is up to us to make that curtain fall
Doesn't have to be this way
Shadows dance in front of you
These dark caves you can't see through
They hold flames of fire blue
Question what you know is true
Shadows dance in front of you
These dark caves you can't see through
They hold flames of fire blue
Question what you know is true
Manipulating out of view
Their beliefs become your truth
Manipulating out of view
Manipulating out of view
Their beliefs become your truth
