Distorted Eyes

A failing conscience
An unfit mind
A shattered vision
The guilty lies

And I’d like to think nothing's wrong
We’d all like to think nothing's wrong
And I’d like to just close my eyes
We’d all like to just close our eyes
But I saw all the photographs
But I saw all the photographs
But I saw all the photographs
But I saw all the photographs

I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Like a good soldier
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Like a good soldier
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Like a good soldier
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Like a good soldier
Ignore all the lies, be a good soldier
Ignore the lies, be a good soldier

Some said we had free will
Well darling if that’s true
I have to say that there is no excuse
For not seeing that we’re screwed

I don't deny I'm a hypocrite
But I’m trying to come clean
Everyone’s a saint these days
Because the saviors left the scene
Everyone's complaining
That there's nothing to go do
But we've got automatic weapons
A cure for boredom and the blues
Everyone's complaining
That there's nothing to go do
So we sit to learn
Our fate on the evening news

A blundered mission
Distorted eyes
A shattered vision
The guilty lies

And I’d like to think nothing's wrong
We’d all like to think nothing's wrong
And I’d like to just close my eyes
We’d all like to just close our eyes
But I saw all the photographs
But I saw all the photographs
But I saw all the photographs
But I saw all the photographs

I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Like a good soldier
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Like a good soldier
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Like a good soldier
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Like a good soldier
Ignore all the lies, be a good soldier
Ignore the lies

We forgot all our lives
They’ve been replaced by prevention
We’ve been taught by lies
And now the lies must be unlearned
Ignore all the lies and try to be a good soldier
Finger on the false trigger
False visions must be turned
