Benefit - Human in Disguise lyrics

[Hook: Matisyahu] [Verse 1: Benefit] Dishonest politician, calm and always on his mission Conning all of those who listen long enough to his position He's hollering hollow promises, following dollar signs They wallow in all his comments, they're swallowing all his lines The campaign trail, they travel and have a nation Babbling aggravation, they dabble in fabrication And then every dollar and cent that they borrow and print Tomorrow is spent on wars full of sorrow and debt Until the currency collapses, world is turning on its axis And there's riots in the streets, and it's burning into blackness National insecurity, irrational fury It's all unsustainable, about to crash in a hurry And who will fight for us? The corrupt coward dies a thousand times on his power rise So it's really no surprise, he's just a human in disguise Just a human in disguise, just a human in disguise [Hook: Matisyahu] [Verse 2: Benefit] The honest common citizen's a systematic victim But he doesn't realize that it's the system that has tricked him And has stripped him of his rights and convinced him that he's free So against his sense he won't commence to hop the fence and flee But the truth is something evident that common sense can see And he feels an ominous presence that dominates the scene Now he's watching the TV and he's sort of confused Cause they're distorting the views they choose to report in the news Plus he's dead broke, he can't afford to be used By any system that's rigged to let the poor be abused And he sees the politicians plan to profit on disaster And he realizes Babylon's a propaganda master So now he keeps his eyes wide awake Not surprised by the fake lies devised by the snake And he keeps his faith in the fact that the truth will forever rise Whoever tries to sever ties to clever lies never dies
