Suffer the Masses

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The promise cast, the hopeful lured Stabbing by the pointed words Tortures of the damned you'll find Guilt preys upon the human mind [Verse 2] All you know and all you feel Is all there is and all that's real Innocent told you're a worthless pain Eventually drives all insane [Verse 3] Bleak optimism gained A lame excuse to hide the pain Instinct stifled, be ashamed For what you feel is right and sane [Pre-Chorus] Suffering Told what you feel and need is wrong When conflicting with the machine The machine that's run so long [Chorus] (Suffer the masses) Contradicting views inside (Suffer the masses) The personality divides (Suffer the masses) What's told and what you know (Suffer the masses) Now, now the neuroses grows [Guitar Solo: Michael Gilbert] [Guitar Solo: Edward Carlson] [Verse 4] Generations handed down The false smile to hide your frown Instinct stifled, don't be ashamed For what you feel is right and sane [Verse 5] The promise cast, the hopeful lured Stabbed by the pointed words Tortures of the damned you'll find As guilt devours your broken mind [Pre-Chorus] Suffering Told what you feel and need is wrong When conflicting with the machine The machine that's run so long [Chorus] (Suffer the masses) Contradicting views inside (Suffer the masses) The personality divides (Suffer the masses) What's told and what you know (Suffer the masses) Now, now the neuroses grows
