You Cthink that it will be easy
To Fjust reach out a hand
But Cthese prisoners of ego's law
StariFng out at a barren land
[Chorus]
And Cit is still, aFll the same
And Amit is still, Fall the same
CIt is still, aFll the same
The Amsame old promise, the same old lies

While the Fwolves are roaming free
MCaybe we can get some crumbs
WhFen they're taking all that we need

FAll that once was said
CNo more dreams of brighter days
Just Fnew distractions thrown our way

To just reach out a hand

But these prisoners of ego's law

Staring out at a barren land

The same old promise, the same old lies

No more dreams of brighter days

Just new distractions thrown our way
