The Villain Video (MV)

When I grew up
The heroes in the stories I loved
Fought for freedom of tyranny from someone above
Who owned the shackles that kept the rabble falling in line
Now I'm older and those chains are getting harder to find

Bread and circus is the cry, and who is more to blame
The wretched masses crying out for something that can tame
A thousand years in darkness without searching for the light
Now I've seen and have to ask myself what makes it right
And when I became the villain

You know Robin, who robbed the rich and gave to the poor
I'd like to ask him what the hell he did all that for
When they'd take that money and waste it or just drink it away
The same old story, caught up in that cycle to stay

Bread and circus is the cry and who is more to blame
The wretched masses crying out for something that can tame
A thousand years in darkness without searching for the light
Now I've seen and have to ask myself what makes it right
And when I became the villain
