The Mirror Lies
You dare to wear the emperor's clothes
But we see right through your games
You brag a thousand golden shows
There's a void behind there claims
You try to raise yourselves so high
By attacking those around
Every grain of truth is fried
In your hunting ground
Spin and spin till your followers give in
Throw that mud at the wall
Spin and spin till your followers give in
Going to sucker them all
Writing cheques your ego can't cash
It's a bubble that will burst
You wake up and it's gone in a flash
And you won't have been the first
You try to put yourselves on top
By treading other down
You boast of everything you've got
It's just a paper crown
Spin and spin till your followers give in
Throw that mud at the wall
Spin and spin till your followers give in
Going to sucker them all
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Do you need this fools disguise?
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Can't you see the mirror lies?
Floating around your fantasies
Losing track of what is real
So convinced that we believe
Convinced of your appeal
You built a man with feet of clay
Fearing to be overthrown
And now to keep the wolves at bay
You sand alone
Spin and spin till your followers give in
Throw that mud at the wall
Spin and spin till your followers give in
Going to sucker them all
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Do you need this fools disguise?
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Can't you see the mirror lies?
This fiction grows
How far can you go?
This fiction grows
Don't you think we know?
This fiction grows
The seed you sow
Ho far... how far can you go?
How far can you go?
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Do you need this fools disguise?
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Can't you see the mirror lies?
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Can't you see the mirror lies?
But we see right through your games
You brag a thousand golden shows
There's a void behind there claims
You try to raise yourselves so high
By attacking those around
Every grain of truth is fried
In your hunting ground
Spin and spin till your followers give in
Throw that mud at the wall
Spin and spin till your followers give in
Going to sucker them all
Writing cheques your ego can't cash
It's a bubble that will burst
You wake up and it's gone in a flash
And you won't have been the first
You try to put yourselves on top
By treading other down
You boast of everything you've got
It's just a paper crown
Spin and spin till your followers give in
Throw that mud at the wall
Spin and spin till your followers give in
Going to sucker them all
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Do you need this fools disguise?
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Can't you see the mirror lies?
Floating around your fantasies
Losing track of what is real
So convinced that we believe
Convinced of your appeal
You built a man with feet of clay
Fearing to be overthrown
And now to keep the wolves at bay
You sand alone
Spin and spin till your followers give in
Throw that mud at the wall
Spin and spin till your followers give in
Going to sucker them all
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Do you need this fools disguise?
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Can't you see the mirror lies?
This fiction grows
How far can you go?
This fiction grows
Don't you think we know?
This fiction grows
The seed you sow
Ho far... how far can you go?
How far can you go?
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Do you need this fools disguise?
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Can't you see the mirror lies?
Whooh oh take a good hard look now
Can't you see the mirror lies?
