The Helper's Lament Video (MV)

Have you ever felt trapped by the suffering of others
I'd have left them right then if I had my druthers
It's really hard to watch the deception of others
I felt an anger swelling I just couldn't smother
I get you're living your life and you seem pretty glad
But you're being duped and that's making me mad
This is how it's always been
This is how we do it
This is how we always win
This is how the rules fit
How do you help someone
Who doesn't know that they need it
How do you help someone
Who refuses to see it
I would go down swinging
If you asked me to
But how do I help you fight
An enemy
When the enemy is you
You offer to help
You get a shrug la la la
You offer to help
You get a hug la la
But the kind of help that I got
Isn't the kind of help that they want - Just stop
This is how it's always been
This is how we do it
This is how we always win
This is how the rules fit
How do you help someone
Who doesn't know that they need it
How do you help someone
Who refuses to see it
I would go down swinging
If you asked me to
But how do I help you fight
An enemy
When the enemy is you
When the enemy is you
Ooh when the enemy is you
More and more words can start a fire
And make you sound like a liar, liar
How do you help someone
Who doesn't know that they need it
How do you help someone
Who refuses to see it
I would go down swinging
If you asked me to
But how do I help you fight
An enemy
When the enemy is you
When the enemy is you
Your naivety is astounding to me
The enemy is you
Your naivety is astounding to me
The enemy is you
