The Ongoing Concept – Prisoner lyrics
Baby don’t you wanna hear what I have to say?
They’ve told you not to be like me, that I’m just a useless fool
But baby it’s hard to see when everything you’ve heard is smoke and mirrors
And it’s time you lift that veil from your eyes and see where this lie will lead
Don’t swallow that lie. Spit it back up and sing this with me
One. Two. Ready
Give it up all you liars and thieves
Give it up, you’re killing passion with greed
We’re all just prisoners
Maybe I’m just enraged because I played the game for thirteen years
And they say I have to follow through or stay irresolute
Yet I watch them rob the youth and swear to them that it’s a necessity
To turn boy into a man, this has to be the only way
It’s the only way. And they say, “Join or die.” Fund that lie
How do I put this lightly?
Give it up for all you liars and thieves
Give it up, you’re killing passion with greed
We’re all just prisoners
I won’t be a victim
I’ll work for distinction not a printed page
I won’t be a victim
I just can’t take it anymore, how you
Prey on the minds of the young and defenseless
Watch as they fall for the lies and deception
If you hear a lie for long enough and loud enough
It won’t be long until you believe it
It’s just a matter of time
And you better watch your back because you’ve made an enemy
I’m your enemy
Give it up for you liars and thieves
Give it up, you’re killing passion with greed
We’re all just prisoners
I’m not your prisoner
They’ve told you not to be like me, that I’m just a useless fool
But baby it’s hard to see when everything you’ve heard is smoke and mirrors
And it’s time you lift that veil from your eyes and see where this lie will lead
Don’t swallow that lie. Spit it back up and sing this with me
One. Two. Ready
Give it up all you liars and thieves
Give it up, you’re killing passion with greed
We’re all just prisoners
Maybe I’m just enraged because I played the game for thirteen years
And they say I have to follow through or stay irresolute
Yet I watch them rob the youth and swear to them that it’s a necessity
To turn boy into a man, this has to be the only way
It’s the only way. And they say, “Join or die.” Fund that lie
How do I put this lightly?
Give it up for all you liars and thieves
Give it up, you’re killing passion with greed
We’re all just prisoners
I won’t be a victim
I’ll work for distinction not a printed page
I won’t be a victim
I just can’t take it anymore, how you
Prey on the minds of the young and defenseless
Watch as they fall for the lies and deception
If you hear a lie for long enough and loud enough
It won’t be long until you believe it
It’s just a matter of time
And you better watch your back because you’ve made an enemy
I’m your enemy
Give it up for you liars and thieves
Give it up, you’re killing passion with greed
We’re all just prisoners
I’m not your prisoner
