Betrayal of Trust
Liar, liar, you seem so cold Watch us grow to rise above the horde You call yourself the government, said it was for our fulfillment Liar, liar, you're so cold We watch our old become elapsed in the fold Promises broken, like autumn leaves Freedom's just a word, in a world of deceit You speak of justice, but it's just a lie We're the pawns in your game, and we're starting to deny The system that's meant to serve and protect Is the same one that's meant to keep us in check You silence our voices, with a wave of your hand But we won't be quiet, we'll take a stand We're the faces behind the statistics cold The lives affected, the stories untold We're the voices crying out in the night Hear us, see us, acknowledge our plight Can you hear us? Can you see? We're the ones you've hurt, we're the ones you'll be Facing soon, with our voices loud and clear We won't be silenced, we won't disappear
