Corruption Lyrics by The Flower Kings

Flower Power

1999

Now, I'm not sure if you wanna know
What's going on behind that door
A stream of lies, a constant flow
A twist of power, a twist of law
You'll do me a favour, some rules to bend
The curtains are down, you know where it'll end
Now partners in crime, in lies alone
Looking so sweet but we're bad to the bone
Corruption, this ain't no house of decent men
Corruption, here comes that sudden silence again
Now far from honest, far from grace
I've done my time in a secret place
We take what's for grantеd, we take what's fair
The World for lunch, thеn down the stairs
Keep our secrets & fingers crossed
A slip of the tounge, we're down we're lost
We dream of days where money talks
The curtains are down, the failure walks
Corruption, this ain't no house of decent men
Corruption, here comes that sudden silence again
We walk the line in clean white shirts
We pray "The News" stop diggin' the dirt
We lie once more, until the truth dissolve
We pray for silence, our hearts revolve
We're now mechanics of make believe
The merchandise so cold and clean
We lack compassion, we lack in faith
We bend the rules as laong as it pays
Corruption, this ain't no house of decent men
Corruption, here comes that sudden silence again
