You built their bed and
Blame them for lying in it
They expose your truth
You try and lock them away
It means confronting a lie
Why would you tell that story?
And the things that you do
And the things that you say
The things a life are worth
And what you'll do about it
And why we care
And the way that people behave
The systems always there
The ones compelling you
Think of what we want
But not what we need
Shift the blame
Final effort writ real
Tear the markers down
You got your people in place
And now you're ready to go
I got that mark on my face
A mark against my name
No name now a number
Machine's ready to go
Everything's on fire
You put your finger on it
You've primed the fuses
Now we're ready to blow
The systems always there
The ones compelling you
It's not what you need
It's who you know
Shift the blame
You put your finger on it
Your put your finger on it
And now we're ready to go
