The Story It's Always the Same

The cards are marked
The dies are loaded
And the world's a game that's been rigged
The ferris wheel goes round and round
And there is always the ...? to blame
Cause the story it's always the same

Big man is inside his palazzo
While the little man scrambles in the streets
And that's exactly where they'll both stay
Until the world starts going round and round
And the story it's always the same

Cause your cities are built upon bones
And history's written by the victors
And it's always written, yes it's always written
In fever and ashes and blood

Your eyes bulge ...? your beauty
But beauty demands a high price

Cause when the fog lifts and the winds shift
Things are rarely what they seem
And you heard it all before
Cause the story is always the same
