lyrics

When the world is crumbling and you're down on your luck
And you would turn some tricks with canines just to find a bit of work
You take The Sickest Man and stick him on a throne
And watch him trip the light fantastic with everything you own

And then you act surprised
And then you act surprised

And when your kids are starving and they're out on the street
Reduced to Roman nursing just find something to eat
You take The Sickest Man and put him in control
And let him line his pockets as you rot on the dole.

And then you act surprised and you look like you've never been told
that they lie to steal your money and would kill you for your gold

And when defeated peoples look for someone to blame
Emmanuel Goldstein and the Two-Minutes Hate
You take The Sickest Man and hail him as a God
Complete with all the pageantry and drinking of blood

And then you act surprised and you look like you've never been told
that they sell you hate for profit and they're coming for your soul.
And then you act surprised
And then you act surprised
