[Verse]
They shut the doors, locked the towns,
Said stay inside, don’t come around.
Masked us up, fed us fear,
But some of us saw things clear.
[Verse]
They said the sky was fallin’ fast,
But we'd seen this story in the past.
The TV blared, the papers screamed,
But what we felt was just a dream.
[Chorus]
It’s not the first time they’ve spun a tale,
Told us the ship would sink, we’d all fail.
Pull the curtain, the show’s been played,
The truth gets lost in the mess they've made.
[Verse]
Remember when they cried wolf before,
Had us marchin’ off to war?
We’ve learned by now, don’t take the bait,
Too many lies to validate.
[Verse]
So we danced outside and breathed the air,
Laughed at lines of folks in despair.
Their game’s a cycle, clear as day,
But some of us ain't built that way.
[Chorus]
It’s not the first time they’ve spun a tale,
Told us the ship would sink, we’d all fail.
Pull the curtain, the show’s been played,
The truth gets lost in the mess they've made.
