Oh, what a mess
What a sticky situation we fell into
But oh, I must confess
I'm not off guard, but if you are, then I don't blame you
Who could have prepared for where we've landed?
I'm not sure I want to meet them
Now, we have to play with the cards that we've been handed
And you can bet I'm going to beat them
Tell me truthfully, when you woke up this morning
Where did you think that you'd go to sleep again?
Somewhere safe? Somewhere you know?
Surely not this madhouse
Together alone with unfamiliar friends
Won't somebody come save us?
I heard you cry to the cameras
But there's something that I think you missed my dear
You say we can't have been forgotten
That there must be someone watching
Why would someone watching want us out of here?
See what you want when you look at me
If you won't open your eyes, who cares what you see?
Honestly, I've better things to do
Than explain myself to you
You don't have all the information
So, yes, I understand your point of view
You're so comfortable claiming I'm on the wrong path
But I don't remember asking you
How can you be so calm?
You practically snap at me
While you're pointing your finger accusingly
Excuse me if the big picture has stayed in my sights
So if you don't mind, I'm trying to get out alive
Say what you like, I promise I'm not going to stop you
Think what you must, it's all on you
No one's coming to our rescue
Yes, I know this must distress you
But if we can't be our own saviours
We'll be damned
So get a grip on your composure
Things will be worse before they're over
Look a little deeper. Try to understand
See what you want when you look at me
If you won't open your eyes, who cares what you see?
Honestly, I've better things to do
Than explain myself to you
I've been screaming the truth, but you just won't see
'Cause I'm the only one here that you won't believe
And everything that I've done, well it's all for you
Though I've shouted and shouted, I can't get through
I'm begging you, use your brain for a moment
Try to figure it out on your own
I won't always be there when you call
They can lie all they like, but I won't concede
Cut me up with your knives. It's not like I'll bleed
I know you don't see the real shape of this battlefield
But my words are my weapons. In secret I'm your shield
