True Colours

I once knew a preacher
Had their trust he was just like a teacher
Read the script from the bible they'd reach up
Look a mile in the distance
They would gather round for his wisdom
Trust in his system and eat what he feeds ya
None of them thinking that this man's a cheater
Let that shit sink in this man's a leader
Little did they know about all the dark secrets he cleaned up
Man a room full of kids how wrong it is
And his mates were accomplices
It all took place while using their faith
As a positive turned to the opposite
Trusted his words wether preaching or cursed
All actions absurd full of broken promises
Scarred for life can't get by
Knowing what they did, they got nothing left to give

It's a cruel world I loath
I see demons arise full of lies everywhere that we go
Dressed in disguise you never would know
True colours hide but they run the show man

I once knew an MP
And never would he be the subject of envy
'Cos all the public said he's so friendly
Always first with his hand in his pocket man he would give plenty
But little did they know where those hands had been
He was never seen to be in to green
The papers they always said he was clean
And that proves what they say to us ain't what it seems
Turns out he was taking money on the side at the cost of a life
He would sit by while chicks got snatched in the street
Flown half way round the globe and then sold like meat
I'm told that one of them felt the heat
And decided the future was too much to see
Scarred for life can't get by
So she jumped off the bridge
She had nothing left to give

It's a cruel world I loath
I see demons arise full of lies everywhere that we go
Dressed in disguise you never would know
True colours hide but they run the show man

I once knew a president
Who didn't represent shit that was relevant
And always spoke like a dick to his residents
And then he choked like a prick tried telling 'em
That he's not the felon it's the rest of 'em
Playing out the blame game but forgetting at the same
Time that the mirrors not irrelevant
Look deep through the mask and you'll see how the
Path to demise brings apart the disguise
It's a cruel world I loath
I see demons they creep on your soul
And you would never know
You still try to roll but the farce that we know
Makes it harder to live harder to grow
Harder to be what we know
Because what we know is a fucking joke
Scarred for life can't get by
Knowing how we live I got nothing left to give

It's a cruel world I loath
I see demons arise full of lies everywhere that we go
Dressed in disguise you never would know
True colours hide but they run the show man
