Mirage

He said just make a day
Still living in a slave's place
They pull you up just to put you down
Ain't nobody need them anyhow

A life ain't worth living
If you ain't got time to live it
Chase that number he said it
They say that they're your friend
But they just keep on watching
Watching you spin, spin again

Good men die while bad men rise
Still no one fights to expose the lies
Oh how we've tried
Put a gun to his head and watch him bleed
Only to be quickly seized
The blind don't see his guns and how they've killed
They only see what's in his will

Do it and undo it again
Over and over
The cycle wins
Good does bad and bad does unto you
Messages fall on deaf ears
From the man who speaks true
That's you

Now the leaves die and fall a little faster
The snow hits a little colder than last year
And the thunder roars a little louder
As life begins to smolder
You're getting older

Gone are the good times
Hear the last bells chime
The wait is over now for rest
God's here to clean up our mess
It's a wreck

Ohh ohh ohh
