Laura - Masquerade

We've been living in a world, our heads held down, pretending that we are blind.
Iniquity is a fact and if we don't react, it stays in our unconscious mind.
We are told so many lies, we hear so many cries, but some of us still deny.
One diplomatic code, we are on a one-way road, nobody turns around to defy.
Why are we told how to live our lives, tell me?
Everybody deserves to be free.

It's all a masquerade, this world we live in.
It's all part of the game, to hide all our sins.
It's all a big parade.
These voices we're hearing make us feel mired.
Oh, it's all a masquerade
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

We've been dying in a world, for nothing or for gold. Who can give the answers now?
Who can tell us why some people have to starve and some people are being crowned.
The globe is disarrayed, drives the "Love" away and leaves us like we're outdone.
We need to disabuse those who want to choose and never stop but carry on.
Why do we only see the things we want to see?
Those in need got to be freed.

Chorus …

All, all that we see all that we feel is the "one" side we are shown.
We are trying, we are fighting for a cause that's still unknown.
All of our dreams, all of our screams, show that we want to be heard.
With our voices, with our choices, we can all stand up and say "no".

It's all a masquerade, this world we live in.
It's all part of the game, to hide all our sins.
It's all a big parade.
These voices we're hearing make us feel mired. (x2)

Oh it's all a masquerade
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Oh it's all a masquerade
Yeah Yeah
