The Keys

It's not too far from here between the east and west
That sleepy village where I love the people best
The way they talk reminds me of the way things were before
When we were friendly and we never locked our doors

But I was looking for something I never found
I looked up in the sky I looked under the ground
I looked into the sun and lost my eyesight for a while
I kissed a hundred girls because they told me that they liked my style

Why did so many choose to leave that well worn path?
Because regardless of how many times I ask
I never heard an answer that I thought held any weight
Only that we were wrong and they themselves were great

Why did you think that it was right to sell your soul?
Do you believe the godhead's son was the one who played in goal?
Can you tell fact from fiction are you even self aware?
Is there anybody else on earth about whom you can say you care?

Why peddle lies and then defend them nail and tooth?
Do you believe your politics are greater than the truth?
Do you believe a saviour's gonna set your people free?
Do you look down on everyone and scorn them recklessly?

Did you abandon love, did you embrace the hate?
Do you believe a clown is gonna make your country great?
When no-one left is standing and the world is on its knees
Will you regret the way you gladly handed them the keys
You gladly handed them the keys
You gladly handed them the keys
