Symphony of Fools

For god's sake
Someone needs to tell you
You sold yourself too cheap
Now there's no one left to help us
More homeless on the street
And you've thrown away the key
We nearly had something
But they went with the wrong guy
He whipped them up a treat
Got them believing
He was the real deal
Not just a jerk on reality TV

And fake is the new black
Lies are the new crack
Social is the new hack
Try to turn the clock back
It's a symphony of fools

For god's sake
Did no one tell you
Justice and the law ain't the same
And the law can't protect
When justice got the check
And the odds are rigged in this game
And what kind of country can we be
To refuse a single refugee?
Where a doctor won't heal you
If your credit ain't good
And women who can't choose ain't free

And fake is the new black
Lies are the new crack
Social is the new hack
Try to turn the clock back
It's a symphony of fools

For god's sake
It's getting out hot out there
Storms are blowing in
Bad guys with guns
Are shooting daughters and sons
And prayers ain't helping anything
Everything's a deal
Tax cut a steal
He's a hero in his own mind
One day he'll be gone
But the damage will be done
He's a zero for mankind

And fake is the new black
Lies are the new crack
Social is the new hack
Try to turn the clock back
It's a symphony of fools
