Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Endless Enigma (Part One) lyrics

Why do you stare Do you think that I care? You've been misled By the thoughts in your head Your words waste and decay Nothing you say Reaches my ears anyway You never spoke a word of truth Why do you think I believe what you said Few of your words Ever enter my head I'm tired of hypocrite freaks With tongues in their cheeks Turning their eyes as they speak They make me sick and tired Are you confused To the point in your mind Though you're blind Can't you see you're wrong Won't you refuse To be used Even though you may know I can see you're wrong Please, please, please open their eyes Please, please, please don't give me lies I ruled all of the earth Witnessed my birth Cried at the sight of a man And still I don't know who I am (Chorus) I've seen paupers as kings Puppets on strings Dance for the children who stare You must have seen them everywhere
