Circle II Circle - Complaint in the System

Got a complaint in the system...

Welcome to the system, here's the situation
It's a bit confusing, welcome to the maze
Everybody sees what everybody wants to
Everyone avoids every other gaze

I will be your mentor, I'll be your advisor
I'll do what I do and you will look away
Forgetting what you see has always been much wiser
But someone in the back is missing what I say

Got a complaint in the system...

Welcome to the park now, we supply amusements
Everybody rides, but everybody pays
What good's causing problems when no one's complaining?
What good is a martyr if no one is saved?
Everybody knows us, everybody sees us
Every single child can tell you where we are
Every politician says that we are leaving
But in all this time we haven't gone too far

Got a complaint in the system...

You should understand it
It's not underhanded
It's really quite simple, you see

The right and the wrong of it
Long and the short of it
Black and the white of it
Forget the sight of it
It is so much cheaper
To be no one's keeper, trust me

In the dead of the night you can stab with a knife
But it's rare you'll ever get anywhere
So we laugh in delight till you turn on a light
And we scatter for the darkness
Or the corners filled with blackness
And we're...
...there...
...where...
...there...
...where... there...
