Inside 5 walls, the hammer falls
Marching to the drum of the establishment
Giant screens, intense scenes
Do the ends truly justify the means?
In the E ring reign the power kings
Where flowing dollars turn into a tidal wave
Conference calls, and marble halls
Secrets locked inside for only few to see
Inside these concrete walls
Inside these 5 walls
Those within want out
Those without want in
At the stroke of a pen
Another cycle begins
No way out
Crisis action teams, global data streams,
The faithful do their time to help the greater good
Desert tans, complex war plans
Power to shape an opposition's destiny
Are they wise or just in disguise?
The leaders push until there's no more blood to give
Purple fountains, paper mountains
The big machine keeps rolling, only faces change
Inside these storied walls
Inside these 5 walls
