You gotta make yourself see what you want to see
Egos will feed while citizens bleed
Superpowers flex their wings
That's always the way it goes
That's always the way it goes"
That's always the way it goes
But you know it's not foolin' anyone but me
Then turn it all around with a suicide move
Before their time is up
I've a feelin' it'll be a long time
Well if they tried, maybe they'd see
But you know it's not foolin' anyone but me
I've a feelin' it'll be a long time
I've a feelin' it'll be a long time
When will the world listen to reason

Hold the world on puppet strings
I've a feelin' it'll be a long time
I've a feelin' it'll be a long time
Egos will feed while citizens bleed
Heard it all before

Hold the world on puppet strings
Superpowers flex their wings
I've a feelin' it'll be a long time
When will the world listen to reason
Hold the world on puppet strings
Backin' it up with guns
You gotta make yourself see what you want to see

I've a feelin' it'll be a long time
Handshake and a smile, gets you on through
When will the truth come in to season
It'd do a little good to let the world be free
Back and forth the leaders sway
I've a feelin' it'll be a long time
When will the world listen to reason

I've a feelin' it'll be a long time
Egos will feed while citizens bleed
I say yeah, "Superpowers flex their wings
I've a feelin' it'll be a long time
Make the same mistakes again

When will the truth come in to season
When will the truth come in to season
All the want is what they can defend
