I hear what your saying I know where your coming from You twisted up the meanings I cant believe you anymore First you want my money Now you want my soul Put me on display In your carnival of fools We shared a common thread And you've pulled on my strings You watched me dance around To the hateful song you sing You told me my desires desires Then you told me what I need Then you cut me and you sold me Bandages to feed your greed When my thoughts became a crime I became a criminal Truth will go unrecognized From main street to marbled halls Once our thoughts became a crime We all became criminals Subvert the reigning paradigm I can think for myself Sing to me in silence For the final time Hold my hand and tell me It's OK to be alone Shredded vows now hurt me Clothe my thoughts in corduroy Can I make it any better Will I suffer anymore When my thoughts became a crime I became a criminal Truth will go unrecognized From main street to marbled halls Once our thoughts became a crime We all became a criminal Truth will go unrecognized From main street to hallowed halls When my thoughts became a crime I became a criminal Truth will go unrecognized Once our thoughts became a crime We all became criminals Subvert the reigning paradigm I can think for myself From main street to marbled halls
