Monsters Among Us

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm searching for the words I'm looking for a way to renew my faith in humanity Are people born bad, are people born good Or passive and controlled way too easily? Something must have happened along the way To cause this selfishness and hate This greed and need for things Everywhere I look it's take, take, take, take [Chorus] You can close your eyes and live in this dream you've made I promise you one night you'll wake up screaming To the realization all of this is fake I promise you for some this night will never end, will never end [Verse 2] I'm trying to find a way To understand how people justify how much they take White collar crimes by well-dressed thieves Every day in the casinos on Wall Street Taken from the penniless They die of thirst while your cup overfills This greed and need to control Everywhere I look it's take, take, take, take [Chorus] You can close your eyes and live in this dream you've made I promise you one night you'll wake up screaming To the realization all of this is fake I promise you for some this night will never end [Outro] 'Cause there are monsters among us And there are some you can't see They're disguised in their suits, nice shoes and ties And they take vengeance on ethics and honesty Can somebody tell me Who's left to trust in this world? A golden pass for the upper class A place on the bus for the rest of us 'Cause there are monsters among us And there are some you can't see They're disguised in their suits, nice shoes and ties And they take vengeance on ethics and honesty Can somebody tell me Who's left to trust in this world? A golden pass for the upper class A place on the bus for the rest of us
