Queensrche — Bent

[Verse 1] Same old lies, sequester the nonbelievers Don't forgive the ones who trespass against us Smiling deceivers, painted faces by the wishing well You don't even trust yourself [Chorus] Why do we face the same thing if change is a constant? Have we not learned from the past, from the past? [Verse 2] The stillborn star we'll never know The parent's love that won't let go The bullied teen that's ready to shoot A tear and a 21 gun salute Welcome to the age of misinformation Seeking control, your reflection's a stranger [Chorus] Why do we face the same thing if change is a constant? Have we not learned from the past? [Post-Chorus] As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me Descending madness violently [Bridge] The poisoning of tribes, to the lifeline of Flint Now the black snake, it crawls deep within sacred grounds We will never consent [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] The night watch man just buying his time An outcast, a resident, a transient, the punishment One dollar bill, no table for two So many questions no one ever asked [Outro] As we all fall down, the jester still sings to me As we all fall down, the silver lining screams to me Descending madness violently As we all fall down As we all fall down The silver lining screams to me Descending madness violently
