Corporate security
+
I am a reflection
Imperial desires
+
I’m what you want to hear
Protecting businessmen
+
And we don’t need a conscience
And their trophy brides
+
So we’re perfectly clear
  
It’s the year of distraction
+
And there’s no room for light
It’s a soul-free zone
+
There’s only black or white
It’s the end to all action
+
No grey area
And no one wants to know
 
  
Whatever the truth they’ve taken it
+
Driven by our profits
We’re letting them get away with it
+
And drunk on success
Have we had enough?
+
The future generation
 +
Will inherit the mess
  
The Big Lie
+
And we belong to the night
 +
We talk in black or white
 +
No grey area
  
We’re reading articles
+
The lines fade into grey
Where murder’s sanitized
+
The knives are out and it’s anybody’s game
Signed off by men in suits
+
Once the lion’s out of its cage
Who you won’t recognize
+
You will never keep it down
  
It’s a fucking disaster
+
Driven to distraction
It’s a state of fear
+
Discourage dissent
It’s an uncertain future
+
The leader is a traitor
Get me out of here
+
He don’t need our consent
  
State sanctioned executioners
+
And we know it’s not right
Hungry for the kill
+
There’s more than black and white
Borderline psychopaths
+
The grey area
Who’ll do it for the thrill

Lyrics

I am a reflection
I’m what you want to hear
And we don’t need a conscience
So we’re perfectly clear

And there’s no room for light
There’s only black or white
No grey area

Driven by our profits
And drunk on success
The future generation
Will inherit the mess

And we belong to the night
We talk in black or white
No grey area

The lines fade into grey
The knives are out and it’s anybody’s game
Once the lion’s out of its cage
You will never keep it down

Driven to distraction
Discourage dissent
The leader is a traitor
He don’t need our consent

And we know it’s not right
There’s more than black and white
The grey area
