Lyrics The Flower Kings

The Flower Kings

Corruption

Now, I'm not sure if you wanna know

what's going on behind that door

A stream of lies, a constant flow,

a twist of power, a twsit of law

You'll do me a favour, some rules to bend,

the curtains are down, you know where it'll end

Now partners in crime, in lies alone,

Looking so sweet but we're bad to the bone

Corruption, this ain't no house of decent men

Corruption, here comes that sudden silence again

Now far from honest, far from grace,

I've done my time in a secret place

We take what's for granted, we take what's fair,

The World for lunch, then down the stairs

Keep our secrets & fingers crossed,

a slip of the tounge, we're down we're lost

We dream of days where money talks,

The curtains are down, the failure walks

Corruption, this ain't no house of decent men

Corruption, here comes that sudden silence again

We walk the line in clean white shirts

We pray "The News" stop diggin' the dirt

We lie once more, until the truth dissolve,

We pray for silence, our hearts revolve,

We're now mechanics of make believe,

The merchandise so cold and clean

We lack compassion, we lack in faith,

We bend the rules as laong as it pays...

Corruption, this ain't no house of decent men

Corruption, here comes that sudden silence again
