Emerson, lake & palmer the endless enigma (part one) lyrics

Why do you stare

Do you think that I care?

You've been misled

By the thoughts in your head



Your words waste and decay

Nothing you say

Reaches my ears anyway

You never spoke a word of truth



Why do you think

I believe what you said

Few of your words

Ever enter my head



I'm tired of hypocrite freaks

With tongues in their cheeks

Turning their eyes as they speak

They make me sick and tired



Are you confused

To the point in your mind

Though you're blind

Can't you see you're wrong

Won't you refuse

To be used

Even though you may know

I can see you're wrong

Please, please, please open their eyes

Please, please, please don't give me lies



I ruled all of the earth

Witnessed my birth

Cried at the sight of a man

And still I don't know who I am



(Chorus)



I've seen paupers as kings

Puppets on strings

Dance for the children who stare

You must have seen them everywhere
