The Hoax - Wild Animals

Create an enemy

And make it as hateful as can be

Dress it up in clothes and wrap it up in smoke

Fear’s always been their friend

And they will use it right ‘till the end

They’ll dream up a threat, tell another joke

I’m sick and tired of this same soundtrack

Why do you dance it when it’s a cheap composition

By the same authority you waive your mind

And in this smoggy town

No one here gets out alive

A monument to a thief:

«remember him for what he did»

Til we realize that this game is rigged

You turn on the TV

A mass distraction, the powers that be

And if you spread a hoax, you better make it big

Don’t believe a word cause it’s made to deceive you

And if you dig deeper you’ll sink like a stone
