X24 - The Sickest Man Lyrics

While the world is crumbling, falling into the sea
Food banks sprout up everywhere, one world in poverty
You took the sickest man and stuck him on a throne
Watched him trick the light fantastical with everything you own. Confused?

You took the sickest man
And then you act surprised, you look like you've never been told
The truth, the whole truth. Where is your god?

Hopeless desperate fighting out on the streets
Endless wars encouraged by greed, envy, deceit
You took the sickest man and put him in control
And let him line his pockets, don't sink into that hole, again.

You took the sickest man
And then you act surprised, and you look like you've never been told
They lie to steal your money and would kill you for your gold

When defeated people look for someone to blame
Emmanuel Goldstein and the Two minutes hate
You took the sickest man, hailed him as a god
Complete with all the pageantry and spilling of blood. So wrong!

You took the sickest man
And then you act surprised, you look like you've never been told
They sell your hate for profit and they're coming for your soul

You took the sickest man
And then you act surprised
You took the sickest man
Why do you act surprised?
