Rifftera - Cry Wolf

Year after year
these treacherous hypocrites spread their lies
and fake tear after tear
convinces the herd to believe it all
it's easier to bend and play along

they preach in the name of justice
but they don't practice what they preach
they preach in the name of justice
and for supremacy they reach

with self-righteous grin they play victim
to get people dance their tune
they shed a tear and cry
cry wolf

one would think that there's a limit
and this game would hit the wall before long
but still the credulous sheep swallow it all
how does it taste when it's
shoved down your throat, huh?

Little white lie
the end justifies
little white lie
justifies the means
little white lie
the cause justifies
little white lie
spreading the disease

years go by
the ears of the herd get used to the cry
and then comes a time when the wolf is real
fangs revealed
and no one hears

now scream your lungs out
now shed a tear
now play a victim
and maybe the wolf disappears

they preach in the name of justice
but they don't practice what they preach
they preach in the name of justice
and for supremacy they reach

with self-righteous grin they play victim
to get people dance their tune
they shed a tear and cry
cry wolf
