Lyric

"Welcome to the city of freedom..."

This town is free, it’s a good town, a wonderful place

Drugs on every corner, dangerous thoughts in every face

Lust and desire, overflowing in the heat

Worker bees hunting for honey, swarming on the street (Hey!)

If the world calls this madness "righteous" and "true"

Maybe I’ll try a new drug... what about you?

It wasn't supposed to be like this, no way, no how

The future used to overflow, but look at us now

Kind souls, fun souls, we were all in the mix

Just living our lives, before the big fix

I remember those days, the paths that we took

We stepped firm, we tripped up, we didn't follow the book

And those guys back then? I bet they felt the same

Just losers and winners in a crooked game!

Ah... the cycle repeats, a foolish parade

Back to the start, watch the memories fade

The city’s overflowing, is "cute" just a mask for "hate"?

Lies and misunderstandings, sealing our fate

Love’s a disease spreading fast through the vein

Fueled by the greed and the power and the pain

Old men clinging tight to their thrones and their gold

"The glory feels good!"—at least that’s what we’re told

While the world burns down, they’re sipping their wine

Is it their turn to rot, or is it mine?

Ah... I’m disgusted, I’m sick of the view

But I’m just as foolish for doing nothing, it’s true!

Foolish, isn't it? Foolish, isn't it? This whole damn era!

Foolish, am I not? Foolish, am I not? My own mirror!

Contradictions repeating, this city’s a ghost

A hollowed-out shell, and we’re the host

Foolish, isn't it? Just like me!

Ah... the cycle repeats, a foolish parade

Tomorrow we’re back where the first mistake was made

Foolish, isn't it? Foolish, isn't it? This whole damn era!

Foolish, am I not? Foolish, am I not? My own mirror!

Contradictions repeating, this city’s a ghost

A hollowed-out shell, and we’re the host

Foolish, isn't it? Just like me!

Foolish, isn't it? This era!

Foolish, isn't it? This ME!

Repeating the mess, again and again

Welcome to the city! AMEN!
