Suffer the Masses Lyrics
The promise cast, the hopeful lured
Stabbing by the pointed words
Tortures of the damned you'll find
Guilt preys upon the human mind
All you know and all you feel
Is all there is and all that's real
Innocent told you're a worthless pain
Eventually drives all insane
Bleak optimism gained
A lame excuse to hide the pain
Instinct stifled be ashamed
For what you feel is right and sane
Suffering, told what you feel and need is wrong
When conflicting with the machine
The machine that's run so long
Suffer the masses, contradicting views inside
Suffer the masses, the personality divides
Suffer the masses, what's told and what you know
Suffer the masses, now, now the neuroses grows
Generations handed down
The false smile to hide your frown
Instinct stifled don't be afraid
For what you feel is right and sane
The promise cast, the hopeful lured
Stabbed by the pointed words
Tortures of the stabbed you'll find
As guilt devours your broken mind
Stabbing by the pointed words
Tortures of the damned you'll find
Guilt preys upon the human mind
Is all there is and all that's real
Innocent told you're a worthless pain
Eventually drives all insane
A lame excuse to hide the pain
Instinct stifled be ashamed
For what you feel is right and sane
When conflicting with the machine
The machine that's run so long
Suffer the masses, the personality divides
Suffer the masses, what's told and what you know
Suffer the masses, now, now the neuroses grows
The false smile to hide your frown
Instinct stifled don't be afraid
For what you feel is right and sane
Stabbed by the pointed words
Tortures of the stabbed you'll find
As guilt devours your broken mind

This great metal classic is about politics and elections. People are misled by politicians with great promises, later to be disappointed. This later will lead to it ignorance and anger, disassociation etc. Only to be misled by the next politicians that will state empty promises. And so the cycle continues because the "machine that ran so long" cannot be changed.
