"Sick Joke" lyrics

It's so much different from the outside looking in
We've been here before, how did we get here again?
Feeling more and more everyday like this is just a sick joke
The problem is no one's laughing anymore

So tell me when did empathy become so frowned upon?
When will we wake up and say we've had enough?
Maybe, maybe we're just too far gone
When will you see?
You're right where they want you to be

Indoctrination
From a book you preach but never opened
Giving false hope for peace to a world so broken
Indoctrination
From a book you preach but never opened
I'd be a rich as you, with a dollar for every lie you've spoken

Blinded by hate, blinded by anger
Getting wealthy off the backs of strangers
Can't you see this is all rehearsed?
And it's about to go from bad to worse

I know you're thinking we needed a change
No use in picking sides, cause it's all the same
I know you're thinking we needed a solution
But the answer we got is hell bent on ruin

Indoctrination
Filled with lies and crooked motives
You buy the narrative but can't see they control it
Indoctrination
How did we get here again?
