Lyrics
Don't you wonder why I feed
The emptiness inside
Got a book of secret treasures with my name on it
For all the tears you cried
Bow your head and pray to me
I'm here to save your soul
Don't be fooled
I'm just a false messiah
Take my hand
I'll lead you where I want ya
Oooooooooooooh
You won't be safe
Oooooooooooooh
I don't feel sane
Think my words can soothe all of your fears
With promises of change
In the back room I will seal all of the deals
That forge your gilded cage
Bow your head and vote for me
I'm here to give you hope
Don't be fooled
I'm just a false messiah
Take my hand
I'll lead you where I want ya
Oooooooooooooh
You won't be safe
Oooooooooooooh
I don't feel sane
