Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
The killer walks again
Freed by evil men in their dark charade
This can’t be happening
A mother’s selfish pride
Her child’s homicide
Can she be to blame?
The suited vultures circling
A father’s cruelty
A murdered family
Is the world insane?
Their defenders ready to embrace their lies
With their devious smiles
Chorus:
Your corruption is like
A cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You’ve been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You’ll face your judgement another day
And suffer eternally
Presumed innocent
Justice fails again in the masquerade
A battered woman trembling
Her lover drunk again
When will the torture end
In her web of shame?
Is death the only way?
A child victimized
The crime politicized
For the counselor’s gain
The rabid media congregates
His tortured memories
A pervert’s fantasies
Is the world insane?
The parasitic devastation seen
On your TV screen
Chorus
False defender, burn forever
Cold and spineless, have you no soul?
Wicked-minded, out of control and guided
By their hunger, they will find new
Ways to betray us
Chorus
Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
Presumed innocent
Justice fails again in the masquerade
Has the whole world become insane?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
The killer walks again
Freed by evil men in their dark charade
This can’t be happening
A mother’s selfish pride
Her child’s homicide
Can she be to blame?
The suited vultures circling
A father’s cruelty
A murdered family
Is the world insane?
Their defenders ready to embrace their lies
With their devious smiles
A cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You’ve been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You’ll face your judgement another day
And suffer eternally
Justice fails again in the masquerade
A battered woman trembling
Her lover drunk again
When will the torture end
In her web of shame?
Is death the only way?
A child victimized
The crime politicized
For the counselor’s gain
The rabid media congregates
His tortured memories
A pervert’s fantasies
Is the world insane?
The parasitic devastation seen
On your TV screen
Cold and spineless, have you no soul?
Wicked-minded, out of control and guided
By their hunger, they will find new
Ways to betray us
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
Presumed innocent
Justice fails again in the masquerade
Has the whole world become insane?

this seems more towards everyone in the world really...
This song seems to mean a lot of different things. But I think that it's mainly talking about all the corrupt attorneys in the world who defend and free murderers and rapists. Also, it's about the media and how they publicize horrible things like murders or things like the shooting in the elementary school in Connecticut hence the lyrics 'The parasitic devastation seen on your TV screen.' Also to a certain extent in talks about just bad people in general and all the criminals and murderers in the world... The world has definitely gone insane.
I agree but I don't think it is just about the lawyers. I think he is talking about the legal system and the media as a whole.
To answer the question, "Has the whole world gone insane?", I really do think the world is insane sometimes.
"You�ll face your judgement another day And suffer eternally"
Burn in hell motherfuckers
This song is about corrupt attorneys and lawyers that let molesters and murderers walk free. Plain and simple.
Susan Powell, Casey Anthony.
I'm pretty sure the song is about humanity and how each of us has done something that corrupted us. Nobody is innocent and nobody ever will stay innocent
This song is clearly about attorneys and lawyers who blatantly lie to the media, themselves and in the court to gain popularity, money and credibility and that they'll end up burning in the depths of hell.
true. unfortunately another lame-lyrics-song on the new album "asylum". these guys are just too much into preaching these days... I prefer lyrics that you can understand your way instead.

I agree with both of the people above me. I think that Dave is singing about lawyers, attorneys, and the government in general who hide the truth.
I totally agree with you. Although I do wish that Disturbed would talk more about their songs :/
