I was always told to keep myself an earshot away   Nothing's as it seems and no one really is what they claim   Show me riches, show me pictures of a candy coated fate   I'm getting drunk on empty promises   And I don't like the taste      I watch your charade, but I still want to play this out   I cannot join this parade and walk among a faceless crowd      You make it feel so right, but we don't all care for your fake paradise   You make it look so right, but I'm a modest man and I'll take my own advice      I was always told to speak and let my words carry me   My voice is only wind, it whispers to your dead fallen trees   Wish I could crash your inner party, you wanna make us double think   Wish I could save this generation, but I don't know what to say      I watch your charade, but I still want to play this out   I cannot join this parade and walk among a faceless crowd      You make it feel so right, but we don't all care for your fake paradise   You make it look so right, but I'm a modest man and I'll take my own advice
