The Greatest Deception

I am not easily fooled

I see no difference between
You and all the others, aside from you being the alpha
Male of just a different pack of wolves
You said that this conflict would end with you
Yet, since you've come to be
I've seen more of my friends and family sent to war

Our economy has worsened, yet government spending keeps
Increasing, how can a capitalist nation punish small
Business with higher taxes?

And like cattle, drive their business to the companies
In your pockets? Your posters line the streets like
Something's changed since you've taken office
Yet, we've seen no difference

This country was founded on the escapism of trusting
One man, yet, now I see entire families hang your portrait
Above their dinner table, you swore you would better
All our lives and children's
Still, half the middles class's earning go to the Federal Reserve

The world has seen idle worship like this
Before, in Nazi-occupied Europe in the '30s
This is cultism at it's finest
A wave of nations putting all their faith into your hands

You lying bastard
Those many suffering supported you simply to end this war
Your charismatic features on TV screens smiling softly
And speaking of hope and change
Held above their heads like a promise to bring back their dead children
