lyrics

IN TIMES OF TROUBLE,
IN TIMES LIKE THESE,
WHEN ALL OF THE PRESSURES,
HAVE GOT YOU IN A SQUEEZE,

WE CAN’T KEEP ON LIVING,
HERE IN QUIET DESPERATION,
WE MUST UNITE,
CAN’T SURVIVE IN ISOLATION,

THEY TAKE AND THEY TAKE THEY DO,
WITHOUT YOU KNOWING,
THEY ARE THE MASTERS OF DECEPTION

THEY GIVE YOU A PROMISE,
IT’S SMOKE THAT THEY’RE BLOWING,
YES, THEY ARE THE MASTERS OF DECEPTION,

IN TIMES OF TROUBLE,
IN TIMES LIKE THESE,
WE MUST AWAKEN,
LIKE THE THAW AFTER A FREEZE,

STRENGTH STANDING TOGETHER,
AND WE’RE STILL HERE,
IN US ALL,
A REVOLUTIONARY,

TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER,
THAT’S THEIR STRATEGY,
THEY’LL PUT THE BLINDERS ON YOUR EYES,
SO YOU CANNOT SEE,

AND WITH A SLIGHT OF HAND,
THEY TRY TO KEEP US APART,
BUT THEY CANNOT CONQUER,
CONQUER A RIGHTEOUS HEART,

STILL, THEY TAKE AND THEY TAKE THEY DO,
WITHOUT YOU KNOWING,
THEY ARE THE MASTERS OF DECEPTION

THEY GIVE YOU A PROMISE,
IT’S SMOKE THAT THEY’RE BLOWING,
YES, THEY ARE THE MASTERS OF DECEPTION,

IN TIMES OF TROUBLE,
IN TIMES LIKE THESE,
WE MUST AWAKEN,
LIKE THE THAW AFTER A FREEZE,

STRENGTH STANDING TOGETHER,
AN WE’RE STILL HERE,
IN US ALL,
A REVOLUTIONARY,
