Off The Back Of Others

Willing to help yet increasing the fall

Changing the place and building a wall

Speaking the truth and supporting the fraud

Yawning in public and playing the lord



Contradicted

Looking almost unwise

Inconsistent

Criticized



What you do is not lucid wisdom

Got to become the people's choice

What you stress is not a charisma

Got to win another vote



[Chorus:]

One can

Rise above

And now you can

Rise above



Messing around and talking a lot

Smiling a little and giving a nod

Kissing the poor and winning a war

Killing the wounded and becoming a whore



Equalized by mass production

Advertising public reforms

What you do is not your commission

Stipulating basic norms



Neither laws nor the cause

Make you feel at a loss



[Chorus]
