How are we to trust you, do we do just what you say
Gotta live by all the laws you set, throw our soulless lives away

You said that you were different
A better brand of right
You said that you were different
In justice we'd unite
You said that you were different
And give our power back
You said that you were different
But our freedoms you attacked

Don't hold your breath, you won't be here for long

Where's your moral compass, the one that leads you straight
Did you dream you were immune to the powers of the state
Building lives upon the lies you spill, to the gullible and devout
That you're better that the rest of us while praying not to be found out

You said that you were different
A better brand of right
You said that you were different
In justice we'd unite
You said that you were different
And give our power back
You said that you were different
But our freedoms you attacked

Don't hold your breath, you won't be here for long 

A show of hands, this is not a test
We have no faith in you, you fall from grace
No middle ground , no compromise
Your pedestal was built on lies

Now the world around you has turned a deeper shade of rust
Bloodstains on your treacherous hands as you grovel through the dust
New marshal is holding court to put your head upon the block
Already the cracks are appearing another wolf, another flock

You said that you were different
A better brand of right
You said that you were different
In justice we'd unite
You said that you were different
And give our power back
You said that you were different
But our freedoms you attacked

Don't hold your breath, you won't be here for long

Lets build a better world you say
Lets make it fairer for everyone
But we found out that you're a fraud 
A fake, corrupt and deviant

You said that you were different
A better brand of right
You said that you were different
In justice we'd unite
You said that you were different
And give our power back
You said that you were different
But our freedoms you attacked

Don't hold your breath, you won't be here for long
