who wants to be wrong?
while critics make their mark,
their songs make the largest noise and
they gather crowds,
foolishness is applauded and the wise are forgotten
as if they never existed
the greedy stare vigorously with hate to that oppose the motion,
who will rule, the liar shall rule,
his lies are easy to believe,
they are catchy like his songs, we sing along,
the rulers never deliver,
promises are just sounds of hope, non-true,
maybe thats what we want to hear
the motive is to fool the fooled,
and fill my pockets with greed,
and I can live happily ever after
