Ray Davies - Guilty lyrics

Stand before your maker, it will make or break you While living for today I know you, you are a faker, don't try me I will take you While living for today Don't stand in the light for the truth it will blind you Secure in your offices of self-gratification Deaf to the cries of the innocent strangers you buried Don't look over your shoulder for the past is still burning Or wriggle and squirm for your soul has forgotten Controlling the man that through greed has brought misery to the world Guilty until you're proven innocent I'm sorry, but you've sealed your own fate Guilty until you're proven innocent Guilty because you looked/turned away Power manipulators, conspirators, dictators Drive the people underground But we'll rise up through the ashes To stand where light can find us In every nation, every land You buy and you sell with no thought for the future Controlling the ma**es in true business like fashion TV, the media, lies and deception blinding us
