Ends And The Means - Monody

They say seeing is believing

And heeding is impeding

Trade your youth for your future

And prosperity will be your cure

(You can’t believe)

No one is the wiser

This is the blueprint of the miser

(The miser)

You hide and you run

From what can’t be undone

The rules that you bend

They were just a means to an end

They say no one is to blame

For what it is that you became

Don’t bother feeling guilty

Just accept this new morality

(Adjust your belief)

No one is the wiser

These are the markings of the liar

(The liar)

You hide and you run

From what can’t be undone

The rules that you bend

They were just a means to an end

The sights and the sounds

Of the sky falling down

Bring yourself to your knees

Because the ends don’t justify the means

They don’t justify the means

They don’t justify the means

They say here are your brothers

And hate all the others

Take an oath, serve your country

Do anything for security

(Your time to leave)

No one is the wiser

This is training from the smiter

(The smiter)

You hide and you run

From what can’t be undone

The rules that you bend

They were just a means to an end

The sights and the sounds

Of the sky falling down

Bring yourself to your knees

Because the ends don’t justify the means

You hide and you run

From what can’t be undone

The rules that you bend

They were just a means to an end

The sights and the sounds

Of the sky falling down

Bring yourself to your knees

Because the ends don’t justify the means
