The world is full of liars, full of cheats The rich hold down the poor beneath their feet I don't see that wickedness in me But maybe I'm just blind and cannot see Sometimes I get tired of being a liar Embarra**ed by the plight of humankind I'm in my ivory tower writing songs In search of finding right in all that's wrong I thought I had the answers once before I found the devil lurking in that door I'm searching for that emptiness inside The breath within the breath The sight in the sight [Chorus] How long will it be like this, will it be like this? How long? How long will it be like this, will it be like this? How long? Imprisoned in the constructs of belief That I'm an individual with needs The soul inside is longing to be free To the awe, awe of destiny Sometimes I get tired of being a liar But maybe that's okay Part of the fight [Chorus] How long will it be like this, will it be like this? How long? How long will it be like this, will it be like this? How long? How long will it be like this, will it be like this? How long? How long will it be like this, will it be like this? How long?
