We're drowning in a sea of lies,
Promises of safety, a cruel disguise.
They preach about our freedoms, our rights,
While they line their pockets, in the dead of night.
They trade our safety for their gain,
While we're left to bear the strain.
In their game, the stakes are high,
As innocent lives are left to die.
They say it's for our safety, a nation strong,
They build their walls, while our children are gone.
The blood of innocents, staining the ground,
Another massacre, another town.
They trade our safety for their gain,
While we're left to bear the strain.
In their game, the stakes are high,
As innocent lives are left to die.
They say it's not their fault, it's the mental state,
Of those who pull the trigger, sealing their fate.
But they forget the access, the easy flow,
Of weapons of destruction, a deadly show.
They trade our safety for their gain,
While we're left to bear the strain.
In their game, the stakes are high,
As innocent lives are left to die.
They manipulate the laws, twist the narrative,
A game of power, so cold and primitive.
They play their game, with innocent lives,
Ignoring the cries, for a better, safer drive.
They trade our safety for their gain,
While we're left to bear the strain.
In their game, the stakes are high,
As innocent lives are left to die.
They boast about the freedom that we all should hold,
But turn a blind eye when the violence unfolds.
They trade in fear, while the chaos prevails,
Building fortunes while the system fails.
They trade our safety for their gain,
While we're left to bear the strain.
In their game, the stakes are high,
As innocent lives are left to die.
They tell us it's a right, it's all we need,
While families mourn, and hearts still bleed.
The cycles of violence, the endless fear,
They count their profits, while we shed tears.
They trade our safety for their gain,
While we're left to bear the strain.
In their game, the stakes are high,
As innocent lives are left to die.
They debate the numbers, the statistics they spin,
Ignoring the pain, where does it begin?
The power and money, it blinds their view,
While we suffer in silence, the old and the new.
They trade our safety for their gain,
While we're left to bear the strain.
In their game, the stakes are high,
As innocent lives are left to die.
