The crowd she stands
All gathered round
In the hot sun of the courtyard
Mercilessly beating down
The crowd goes round and round and round

I give to you
This broken man
It seems to me he’s shattered
By the hard end of your hand
The crowd goes round and round and round

Truth is just a game
And I can’t hold firm on the solid ground
The power here is me
You can’t fight the system boy you’ll drown
You fight the system boy you’ll drown

They tell me hey, you’re a king
You don’t look so big to me
Kings are never hard to see
But you’re the one that haunts me in my dreams

Truth is just a game
And I can’t hold firm on the solid ground
The power here is me
I don’t want to kill you boy just turn it around
You gotta turn it around

Tell me true
I present to you
Wicked on my left hand
On my right hand just a fool
The crowd goes round and round and round

We take the left
Yeah Pilate cries
Is innocence so cheap to you
I wash my hands of all you fools
Round and round and round

Truth is just a game
And I can’t hold firm on the solid ground
The power here is me
You can’t fight the system boy
It’ll tear you down
Gonna tear you down

Truth is just a game
And I can’t hold firm on the solid ground
The power here is me
You can’t fight that system boy
It’ll tear you down
Gonna tear you down
Gonna tear you down
Oh tear you down yeah
