Smiling faces
Dirty hands
Laughing faces
Blood on their hands
They've lost their souls
Why would they care for yours
What a misconception
You're the pawn in this deception
Always do as you're told
You let fear take the controls
We've been neglected
And you think we're protected
You can smile now
You'll cry later
You can laugh now
You'll pay later
Pray to your god
They won't save you
Believe in yourself
They won't save you
Nothing can save us
But ourselves and our minds
Smiling faces
Dirty money hands
Laughing faces
Blood on their hands
When did creed overrun the lives
Of the children innocence died
Many years before my time
For many years they're feeding us lies
Through these older eyes
I see a much colder side
Of human kind
I'll ostracize myself from those I despise
You can smile now
You'll cry later
You can laugh now
You'll pay later
Pray to your god
They won't save you
Believe in yourself
They won't save you
Nothing can save us
But ourselves and our minds
Dirty faces
Bloody hands
Laughing faces
Bloody hands
Dirty faces
Bloody hands
Laughing faces
