lyrics

gonna sneak out the back and get back on the ram
before I freak out the people, get thrown in the slammer
they reached out to pull that wool over my eyes
no time to speak out, their pig is just a sheep in disguise
and I’m the big, bad wolf coming to blow up the whole town
gonna make it all hurt like I saw in my mind
so build your houses of sticks, straw, and bricks…they’ll still go down
gonna make up, I’m certain, for all that lost time
for all that lost time
for all that lost time
for all that lost time
for all that lost time
I’m on the road again; my goal is to expose this lie
‘cause if I don’t, no one will know we’ve been their slaves all our lives
and some might need to believe to help them sleep at night
but me, I don’t need no sleep, I keep my opened eyes
fixed on their kingdom, they need us to keep up their end
if they could leave us the first time, what do we expect?
if we don’t clean up this act before the curtains descend on us
we’ll never get no closer to that prodigal pig…IT’S JUST A MYTH
and I’m the big, bad wolf coming to blow up the whole town
gonna make it all hurt like I saw in my mind
so build your houses of sticks, straw, and bricks…they’ll still go down
gonna make up, I’m certain, for all that lost time
for all that lost time
for all that lost time
for all that lost time
for all that lost time
