  • Disrupt and keep dividing
    The government is lying
    I'm not gonna be a fallacy of this society
    Turn off your TV station
    That's not real information
    Trying to define the human mind, it's like puppetry

    And they've got you by your strings, playing God for money
    A sorry, sad charade, you can see right through it

    Don't wait for anyone
    To say it for you
    Say it for yourself
    What if God was the beggar in disguise?
    Would it make any difference?
    Would you open your eyes?
    Whoa
    Whoa

    Suspend your disbelief
    Are you paying close attention?
    If you blink, then you might miss their tricks and their deception
    Distrust and disobey the lies they say
    'Cause all the world's a stage
    And if you choose to read the news, then you must question everything

    And they've got you on your knees, they've got your milk and honey
    Then we put them on parade and celebrate what's coming

    Don't wait for anyone
    To say it for you
    Say it for yourself
    What if God was the beggar in disguise?
    Would it make any difference?
    Would you open your eyes?
    Whoa
    Whoa

    No kings, no queens
    No justice, no peace
    Dig deep, believe
    The truth will set you free
    No kings, no queens
    No justice, no peace
    Dig deep and see
    The government is lying

    Don't wait (don't wait) for anyone (for anyone)
    To say it for you
    Say it for yourself
    Yeah, what if God was (yeah, what if God was) the beggar in disguise?
    Would it make any difference?
    Would you open your eyes?

    No kings, no queens
    No justice, no peace
    Dig deep, believe, the truth will set you free
    Would it make any difference? Would you open your eyes?
    No kings, no queens
    No justice, no peace
    Would it make any difference?
    Would you open your eyes? Writer/s: Benedict Kieran James Barlow, Daniel Washington, Matthew Richard West, Philip Michael Thorpe-Evans, Samuel Joseph Bowden
