Ego Driven Madness
"He could change if he wanted to,"
we whisper as he walks by
Wearing all he owns on him.
We never weigh the why.
Would we be so quick to judge
if our dreams just woke up dead?
Left with nothing for us,
but the voices in our head.
Chorus:
It's that ego driven madness.
The pride that takes the fall
To give our sin the peace of mind
to hide behind these walls.
We read it in the paper.
Undesirable's going down!
Hail the politicians war cry
for a new law to be found.
In our cruel considerations
we crack a heartless whip
Never seeing all the reasons
it could be us instead of him.
Chorus:
It's that ego driven madness.
The pride that takes the fall
To give our sin the peace of mind
to hide behind these walls.
Bridge
When he was a young man
He looked a lot like you
Check your own reflection
In his eyes and get a clue.
Face to face with your creator,
would you rather stand and say
You tried to save a vagrants life?
Or left him dead to lay.
All that righteous indignation
Got you singing your own praise
Clamour sanity of phony
Of your own unrighteous gaze.
Chorus:
It's that ego driven madness.
The pride that takes the fall
To give our sin the peace of mind
to hide behind these walls.
He could change if he wanted to
We whisper as he walks by...
