The Hands That Rule the World
Tempting us with power
They take away our gold
There is no consolation
To do what we are told
Do they recall the touch of skin?
The red and blue, that makes us human
The ones that you loved played like a game
And now you rule the world
Living in shadows to steal while we're sleeping
Played by the hands, the hands that rule the world
Counting the numbers to count the hours
The name of the game of the hands that rule the world
With care they built an ocean
To feed the bottom line
And now we sink or swim
In their ocean filled with lies
But never forget the red and the blue
The natural love, that makes us human
What matters in life is never believe
What's too good to be true
Living in shadows to steal while we're sleeping
Played by the hands, the hands that rule the world
Counting the numbers to count the hours
The name of the game of the hands that rule the world
Give us the guns, the sex and power
Give us sympathy
Oh! living in shadows to steal while we're sleeping
Played by the hands, the hands that rule the world
Counting the numbers to count the hours
The name of the game of the hands that rule the world
They take away our gold
There is no consolation
To do what we are told
Do they recall the touch of skin?
The red and blue, that makes us human
The ones that you loved played like a game
And now you rule the world
Living in shadows to steal while we're sleeping
Played by the hands, the hands that rule the world
Counting the numbers to count the hours
The name of the game of the hands that rule the world
With care they built an ocean
To feed the bottom line
And now we sink or swim
In their ocean filled with lies
But never forget the red and the blue
The natural love, that makes us human
What matters in life is never believe
What's too good to be true
Living in shadows to steal while we're sleeping
Played by the hands, the hands that rule the world
Counting the numbers to count the hours
The name of the game of the hands that rule the world
Give us the guns, the sex and power
Give us sympathy
Oh! living in shadows to steal while we're sleeping
Played by the hands, the hands that rule the world
Counting the numbers to count the hours
The name of the game of the hands that rule the world
