CONCEITED
deliver me, from the depths of arrogance
from slipping into perilous?
situations that arise when I am on the fly?
I wearily, wake up in the morning, see the storm rolling in, passin through my mind
---
conceited, bleeding
So many lies?
It’s hard to see?
The truth, this time?
Why we gotta go and leave them dying?
Human arrogance will leave kids crying
Why we gotta fight and kill to side with?
U know The devil is way too violent
Why do we put our trust in politicians?
You know that they don’t make a difference
I don’t trust the ambitions
Of people that deserve to be in prison
---
Conceited, that’s what we are when we fight
That’s what we are when we lie
It's who we hurt in due time?
Misleading, that’s what we are when we try
To run away from what’s right?
we’re running out of time
---
I don’t know bout you?
But I do know
That I know yah
Leads the show
I don’t know bout you?
But I do know
That I don’ know much
What do you know?
---
Conceited, that’s what we are when we fight
That’s what we are when we lie
It's who we hurt in due time?
Misleading, that’s what we are when we try
To run away from what’s right?
we’ve become oh so blind
