Darkness in the city, morals die,
Look away while the victims cry.
Strangers come to dominate,
Bodies sold and children enslaved.
Indifference is all I see,
Lies in the news and hypocrisy
Corruption comes to sell the flesh.
To use, abuse, and throw 'em like trash
Why you keep lying?
Why you keep denying?
That the innocent are dying
Can you hear 'em crying?
Reporters hush and sponsors pay,
The cops turn their backs and walk away.
Politicians celebrate their sin,
Let the money flow right in
Why you keep lying?
Why you keep denying?
That the innocent are dying
Can you hear 'em crying?
This city is hell,
Another body to sell
The blind won't see,
The world won't learn.
How evil this has become
Why you keep lying?
Why you keep denying?
That the innocent are dying
Can you hear 'em crying?
King of lies, reign of misery
You can't hide - we all can see
All you have done is bring us pain,
And all that's left is children in chains.

Darkness in the city, morals die,
Look away while the victims cry.
Strangers come to dominate,
Bodies sold and children enslaved.
(Wander for the one to blame)
It's your kind we need to blame,
(For the lies and hides without shame)
If you lie and hide without shame.
You are the one who sells the flesh.
(Who's the one who sells the flesh)
Allow their use, and throw 'em like trash
Why we keep lying?
Why we keep denying?
That the innocent are dying
Can you hear 'em crying?
Reporters hush and sponsors pay,
The cops turn their backs and walk away.
Politicians celebrate the sin,
Another rape—to cash in.
Why do you keep lying?
Why you keep denying?
That the innocent are dying
Can you hear 'em crying?
This city is hell,
You made it well.
The blind must see,
The world must learn.
You're evil— we'll watch you burn.
Why do you keep lying?
Why you keep denying?
That the innocent are dying
Can you hear 'em crying?
King of lies, reign of greed,
Hide behind phobia to serve your creed.
All you have done is bringing pain,
Nothing's left but children in chains.
