Look around get a real scare  I see a mess beyond repair  The word is fine if you don't mind  A touch of hell from time to time  Or a few darkened minds higher up  Keeping their crimes covered up  But if you don't care  To see what's there  You ain't got a prayer  In their  Smoke screen  Hiding the enemy's scheme  Smoke screen  Clouding our hopes and our dreams  So many good all used up now  They don't count 'cause they left me out  They say I'm wrong to walk alone  They just don't dare to stand on their own  Oh I know, it always hurts when it's real  Putting a stick in the wheel  But I don't mind  If I'm one of a kind  I know what I'll find  In their  Smoke screen  Hiding the enemy's scheme  Smoke screen  Clouding our hopes and our dreams  Smoke screen  The truth ain't as bad as it seems  But the last scene is sure to be making you scream  We gotta fight to survive  If we surrender we die  So don't try  Living a lie  Just come out alive  From the  Smoke screen  Hiding the enemy's scheme  Smoke screen  Clouding our hopes and our dreams  Smoke screen  The truth ain't as bad as it seems  But the last scene  Is sure to be making you scream
