lyrics

Faithful to the guidelines
Their greed always provided
No house for the evicted
No room for improvising
Working at the service
Of their blinded course of action
No matter how we live and
No matter if we die ‘cause

The theories you follow
Will justify your movements
Chicago’s on your mind
And your heart is where your gold is
The home of the governors
The fort of the mischievous
The land in which you sold
The ideals your parents taught you

Sway and cynicism
Mocking tortfeasors
Swindling the poor
Just a fraud
Bloody trap
Deeper pit where we're to fall
Masquerader
Fake heir
Unscrupulous invader
Dwelling in a lawless reign
Where our judges are your servants

Oh please
How could I join this band of trickery
Misfortune ain’t no hold
On this old man so experienced
You envy the deceitful’s
Prosperity and standing
Regret is inadmissible
Your words will be misleading

A new case on the papers
A new justification
You better close your eyes
And believe this explanation
The birthplace of your treason
The cradle of sadism
The tomb of all the words
That your parents used to teach you

Sway and cynicism
Mocking tortfeasors
Swindling the poor
Just a fraud
Bloody trap
Deeper pit where we're to fall
Masquerader
Fake heir
Unscrupulous invader
Better think of what you do
‘Cause you’ll leave sooner or later
