lyrics

I’ve stopped listening to you, no longer speak your name
I don’t know who you are, but know the game you’re playin’
I walk away from you, choose my destiny
I’ve learned to do what’s right, you won’t do that for me

I’ve turned my back on you
I’ve turned my back on you
You pretend you don’t care
But wait till others do the same

You’re locked inside your room surrounded by your guards
Can’t face the world head on, your head is in the clouds
But outside the wind has blown the other way
Appreciate the bird you hold before it flies away

I’ve turned my back on you
I’ve turned my back on you
You pretend you don’t care
But wait till others do the same

I signed no contract with you
I never said ‘I do’
But your actions speak otherwise
I see the devil behind those eyes

You can buy and bribe a way to sure success
And leave it to the honest folk to pick up all the mess
And while you’re riding high, try not to forget
They’re the ones who put you there, you haven’t learned that yet

I’ve turned my back on you
I’ve turned my back on you
You pretend you don’t care
But wait till others do the same

– INTERLUDE –

Your insincerity, too blatant to ignore
May still evade believers crying out for more
But while you’re posing at the podium of lies
Know that soon the truth will come to cut you down to size

I’ve turned my back on you
I’ve turned my back on you
You pretend you don’t care
But wait till others do the same
I’ve turned my back on you
I’ve turned my back on you
You pretend you don’t care
But wait till others do the same
Wait till others --- do the same
