Corporate security
I am a reflection
Imperial desires
I’m what you want to hear
Protecting businessmen
And we don’t need a conscience
And their trophy brides
So we’re perfectly clear


It’s the year of distraction
And there’s no room for light
It’s a soul-free zone
There’s only black or white
It’s the end to all action
No grey area
And no one wants to know


Whatever the truth they’ve taken it
Driven by our profits
We’re letting them get away with it
And drunk on success
Have we had enough?
The future generation
Will inherit the mess


The Big Lie
And we belong to the night
We talk in black or white
No grey area


We’re reading articles
The lines fade into grey
Where murder’s sanitized
The knives are out and it’s anybody’s game
Signed off by men in suits
Once the lion’s out of its cage
Who you won’t recognize
You will never keep it down


It’s a fucking disaster
Driven to distraction
It’s a state of fear
Discourage dissent
It’s an uncertain future
The leader is a traitor
Get me out of here
He don’t need our consent


State sanctioned executioners
And we know it’s not right
Hungry for the kill
There’s more than black and white
Borderline psychopaths
The grey area
Who’ll do it for the thrill

Lyrics

I am a reflection
I’m what you want to hear
And we don’t need a conscience
So we’re perfectly clear

And there’s no room for light
There’s only black or white
No grey area

Driven by our profits
And drunk on success
The future generation
Will inherit the mess

And we belong to the night
We talk in black or white
No grey area

The lines fade into grey
The knives are out and it’s anybody’s game
Once the lion’s out of its cage
You will never keep it down

Driven to distraction
Discourage dissent
The leader is a traitor
He don’t need our consent

And we know it’s not right
There’s more than black and white
The grey area
