Backfire, with a smoking gun And the mask falls off for everyone to see Backfire, and the coup is done Pull the needle out, its time to run from me But don't let the truth get high There's a new stage and a world of lies to breathe Its all jaded When the whole world is a mark Play it fierce, its not real Backfire, and the cover's blown What was once arcane lies now exposed Backfire, and the bird has flown As the crude disguise is overthrown by greed But don't let the truth get high There's a new stage and a world of lies to breathe Its all wasted All those years kissing head Its all gone, back to start Don't let the truth get too high Build a brand new reality Don't let true colours stain those eyes No, just pretend that it's not real It's not real …. It's not real …. It's not real …. It's not real
