The Greater Good Lyrics


In this light I see darkness

In this pleasure there's pain

There is so much knowledge

For us to gain

Life is a cycle of changes

But aren't we changing in vain?

Because whatever I do

I end up betrayed again

Crowns for the rich

Death to the poor

Freedom protected by titanium walls

How does it feel

To be a part of this world?

Now you will suffer

Just like you should

There's no need to pray

For the greater good

The errors of man

Will always suffice

We're governed by rats

And helpless like mice

We lost the will to fight

Look at the birth of this madness

Look at the birth of defeat

Can you even remember

What it was like to be free

Can't say I learned my lesson

I still want to believe

That there is something more to this life

Than fucking misery

Crowns for the rich

Death to the poor

Freedom protected by titanium walls

How does it feel

To be a part of this world?

So say what you gotta say

You know it doesn't matter anyway

We're all in this together now

We're neck-deep in this clesspool now

Yeah, there were times when I knew my place

When I put my trust in the human race

Now all I see are legions

Of human waste

And I'm thankful for it

That's right, I'm thankful for it

I'm thankful I can see right through their shit

I know I'm all alone in this world

And that's fine, that's alright, I can fucking deal with it

It doesn't even bother me

Not even one bit

Still you want me to care

Want me to give a damn

And for what?

For the greater good?

Well, you gotta understand

I am the greater good

There's a fire in the distance

And there's a fork in the road

I think this is where we part our ways

For the greater good of all
