saying left when you mean right
blaming others when you wanna have a fight
a wrong answer has you just confused
there’s a reason why you’re now getting accused
in duality you choose to hide
black and white you play each side
enemies and friends collide
they never have to meet, the world is wide
masks for people you have met
following the scripts of what you’ve set
playing odds, like laying games
you smoke things up to light some flames
sheep in clothing all dressed up
hiding your face behind make up
made up stories painting you
looking out they might believe it’s true
looking up they can see it's you
standing out you fit right in
predator with a sheepskin
it’s confusing how you are...
one lie’s here, another far
who will you be today?
I can ask another what they say
I’m meeting you today at noon
will you sing a different toon?
shiny teeth and pretty eyes
who’s underneath this plain disguise?
