Politicians raising cain
Singing sermons in the rain
Getting gold and giving dirt
And with an outstretched hand
You are at their command
Their gospel is the only true word
And as you turn to me
Tell me what I must be
Take the cup and drink the wine
Oh I'm not a piece of your chess board
Baby are you blind
Freewill's written in the palm of my hand
And I know
There's more to this than what's below
And we, can't trust our own eyes
Can't see nothing at all
And I know
Not all that glitters is gold
And we're just fools in the dark
Hidden from the light of day
Put on a mask before you walk
Through the streets of empty thoughts
Let your mind melt away
And chained below we watch in awe
The shadows on the wall
And lonely lips they call my name
Alone I may be
And though you stair at me
Just an oddity on display
Oh I'm not a piece of your chess board
Baby are you blind
Freewill's written in the palm of my hand
And I know
There's more to this than what's below
And we, can't trust our own eyes
Can't see nothing at all
And I know
Not all that glitters is gold
And we're just fools in the dark
Hidden from the light of day
