Benefit, Kyon Williams, Matisyahu - Human in Disguise lyrics

Dishonest politician
Calm and always on his mission
Connin' all of those who listen
Long enough to his position
He's hollerin' hollow promises
Followin' dollar signs
They wallow in all his comments
They're swallowin' all his lines
The campaign trail
They travel and have a nation
Babblin' aggravation
They dabble in fabrication
And then every dollar and cent
That they borrow and print
Tomorrow is spent on wars full
Of sorrow and debt
Until the currency collapses
World is turnin' on it's axis
And there's riots in the streets
And it's burnin' into blackness
National insecurity, irrational fury
It's all unsustainable
About to crash in a hurry
And who will fight for us?
The corrupt coward dies a thousand
Times on his power rise
So it's really no surprise
He's just a human in disguise
Just a human in disguise
Just a human in disguise

The honest common citizen's
A systematic victim
But he doesn't realize that it's the
System that has tricked him
And has stripped him of his rights
And convinced him that he's free
So against his sense he won't Commence
To hop the fence and flee
But the truth is something evident
That common sense can see
And he feels an ominous presence
That dominates the scene
Now he's watchin' the TV and
He's sort of confused
'Cause they're distortin' the views
They choose to report in the news
Plus he's dead-broke
He can't afford to be used
By any system that's rigged to
Let the poor be abused
And he sees the politician's plan
To profit on disaster
And he realizes Babylon's a propaganda master
So, now he keeps his eyes wide-awake
Not surprised by the fake lies
Devised by the snake
And he keeps his faith in the fact
That the truth will forever rise
Whoever tries to sever ties to
Clever lies never dies
