They Know

I’m the prisoner of an insane regime.
They let me walk around but I cannot leave.
Their control here is almost complete the last step is for me believe.

Believe that they’re trying or that and they really mean well
believe they can’t see and that they think they offer hope
I know that they don’t but they won’t leave it alone

Their faces all smiles and their rhetoric choice
the common line “it’s the best that we’ve got”
their fallback defense is that they don’t know
they’ve asked and they’ve asked but I cannot say so

This place is a lifeboat and the captains got this grin
that makes me want to jump over board and swim as hard as I can away from it all
But there is nowhere to go
so I stay and I row
I want the safety of home
but they keep saying no.

"You do the work, we’ve got it all figured out. Just row"
Their faces all smiles and their rhetoric choice
the common line “it’s the best that we’ve got”
Their fallback defense is that they don’t know and they’ve asked and they’ve asked but I cannot say so

They know

You know you’re safe somewhere inside so you take your time
While you wait it’s life so don’t claim you tried
I can tell you something about the cards that they hold they like to have you believe that they don’t but

they know

They’ve come to their pulpits they want my support
They say we’re doing our best you’ve got to know but I don’t they know
