Welcome to the new world order
It's a powerful force, powerful vice
Welcome to the new world order
Don't look once, let alone twice
When this innocent kiss is murder
This innocent lie is mine
An experienced man not wanted
The holiness, an easy high
When violent love is treasured
And violent men lead blind
Get a thousand witnesses
Find forgotten tears in wine
Remember all roads lead forward
Destination somewhere vile
When you criticize the shoes
That you've never worn a mile
It's a mind that never changes
That preaches partial lies
Isolated need for rigor
When you argue, every time
Welcome to the new world order
It's a powerful force, powerful vice
Welcome to the new world order
Don't look once, let alone look twice
The faithful turn to sinners
And the sinner wears a crown
And the quiet men go missing
While the loudest tear them down
When the guilty walk as heroes
And the blame gets redefined
A thousand mouths bear witness
Still the truth is hard to find
Remember every road taken
Leads away from what you've lost
And then you speak of revolution
But can't reckon with the cost
It's the weak who crave the power
And the powerful who lie
It's a shallow need for safety
When you're clearly living blind
But welcome to the new world order
It's a powerful force, powerful vice
Welcome to the new world order
Don't look once, let alone look twice
Welcome to the new world order
Welcome to the new world order
Welcome to the new world order
