I'm searching for the words
I'm looking for a way to renew my faith in Humanity
Are people born bad?
Are people born good, or passive and control way too easily?
Something must have happened along the way to cause this selfishness and hate
This green and need for things, everywhere I look it's take, take, take, take

You can close your eyes and in this dream that you've made
I promise you one night you'll wake up screaming
To the realization that all of this is fake
I promise you for some this night will never end

I'm trying to find a way to understand how people justify how much they take
White collared crimes by well dress thieves everyday in the casinos on Wall Street
Take from the penniless, they die of thirst while your cup overfills
This greed and need to control, everywhere I look it's take, take, take, take

You can close your eyes and in this dream that you've made
I promise you one night you'll wake up screaming
To the realization that all of this is fake
I promise you for some this night will never end

There are monsters among us
There are some you can't see
They're disguised in their suits, nice shoes and ties
and they take vengeance on ethics and honesty
Can somebody tell me who's left to trust in this world?
A golden pass for the upper class
A place on the bus for the rest of us
