How we are, ain't how we were,
Innocence, is for the birds,
Now we are poison, and we don' t care,
We have no shame, we strip you bare,
And you so precious, lost in smoke,
Too busy laughing, to see the joke,

Nobody knows if you won or you lost,
Into the palace or up on the cross,
Into the gravy or into the ground,
We just don' t want you around,
Sucker

What we want, ain't what we get,
Rags to riches, ain't workin yet,
For we are monsters, we love our work,
Raise your voice, you bite the dirt,
And you so patient, lost in dreams,
Too busy crying, to hear the screams,

Nobody knows if you lost or you won,
In with the girlies or under the gun,
Into the sunshine or under the blade,
We gonna dance on your grave,
Sucker

What we do is break the law,
We tasted blood and wanted more,
For we are murder, we like it fine,
No quarter, we draw the line,
And you so gracious, lost in time,
Too busy killing, to see the crime,

Love it or hate it you're gonna pay,
All of us here gonna ruin your day,
Into the palace or into the pit,
We think you're just full of shit,

Nobody cares if you' re in or you' re out,
Were gonna give you a smack in the mouth,
Whether you go or whether you stay,
I guess it just ain't your day,
Sucker

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
