As long there've been stories, lies and airwaves What makes a man a man's been right up front In visions boys are sold of what it could be Grievance when it ain't like what they thought When money and respect seemed to elude him And being white alone don't make the ladies swoon There's no shortage when it comes to hearing voices Telling him it's him that's done it too Say his trouble with the ladies can't be his fault After all he's what it's natural they should want There's just outside voices turning them against him A conspiracy to water down his blood A conspiracy to water down his blood And it's all the fault of it, or them, or they Give a boy a target for his grievance And he might get it in his head they need to pay Yeah, giving boys targets for their grievance And then mocking those who bear the pain they cause It takes a certain special kind of something To cash the cheque it brings and sweep it off The demonizing of the troubled mind With all the usual suspects on the scene Merchants selling young men reclamation Merchants selling old men back their dreams Oh, suspended disbelief and wishful thinking Comes the vision of a special hell for con-ers Who sell the marks the doubt it even happened An eternity for every tear they've mocked An eternity for every tear they've mocked May the price of freedom finally be their own May our thought and our prayers keep them company As they wallow in their helplessness alone May our thought and our prayers keep them company As they wallow in their helplessness alone
