It took awhile but eventually
It all led me here
Putting all the pieces together
Now it became so clear
Left my wife and kids a fine stash
In case I disappear
"But I'm gonna go back home as soon as we're done here"
The city of power and oppression
And all these suited men
A place of narcissistic debauchery
Mixed with all that's vain
No one to trust around these cold streets
Not a helping hand
"Gotta keep it cool, man
Better tread lightly and play it safe"
Tell me what kind of gin you wanna taste
As we plan the next move, rewrite the nation's fate
Forgot to tell ya, better leave your hopes and dreams
In case you didn't notice,
This is no place for delusion
We're in the city of lies
The centrist party calls the shots here
Well, this is the game
Plotting every kind of shady deals
All for the sake of them
As for you, the detective
We've got a better plan
"Quit this investigation of yours
And keep your family safe
We'll grant you military honours
And a nice house so you can enjoy a smooth old age"
Tell me what kind of gin you wanna taste
As we plan the next move, give you a clean slate
Have to tell ya, time has come for us to agree
"Alright, hmm...
Cut the crap and
Let's seal the deal"
