NO PLACE TO HIDE

 

I don’t know

What you were told

But he tried to run

And he tried to hide

He was caught

And brought back alive

 

I don’t know

What you think you know

But he tried to die

And he tried to lie

To bluff and fake

His way out of this mess

 

Then he tried to justify

His own existence

By setting us all up

To emphasize his importance

By giving false alibis

 

And now that he’s got

As far as he could go

He’s powerless

Lost and out of control

Left to grow old

And die alone
