The Kinks - Guilty lyrics
[The Kinks - Guilty lyrics]
Stand before your maker
It will make or break you
While living for today
I know you, you are a faker
Don't try me I will take you
While living for today
Don't stand in the light for the
Truth it will blind you
Secure in your offices of self-gratification
Deaf to the cries of the
Innocent strangers you buried
Don't look over your shoulder for
The past is still burning
Or wriggle and squirm for
Your soul has forgotten
Controlling the man that through greed has
Brought misery to the world
Guilty until you're proven innocent
I'm sorry, but you've sealed your own fate
Guilty until you're proven innocent
Guilty because you looked turned away
Power manipulators, conspirators, dictators
Drive the people underground
But we'll rise up through the ashes
To stand where light can find us
In every nation, every land
You buy and you sell with
No thought for the future
Controlling the masses in true
Business like fashion
TV, the media, lies and deception blinding us
It will make or break you
While living for today
I know you, you are a faker
Don't try me I will take you
While living for today
Don't stand in the light for the
Truth it will blind you
Secure in your offices of self-gratification
Deaf to the cries of the
Innocent strangers you buried
Don't look over your shoulder for
The past is still burning
Or wriggle and squirm for
Your soul has forgotten
Controlling the man that through greed has
Brought misery to the world
Guilty until you're proven innocent
I'm sorry, but you've sealed your own fate
Guilty until you're proven innocent
Guilty because you looked turned away
Power manipulators, conspirators, dictators
Drive the people underground
But we'll rise up through the ashes
To stand where light can find us
In every nation, every land
You buy and you sell with
No thought for the future
Controlling the masses in true
Business like fashion
TV, the media, lies and deception blinding us
