Flotsam & Jetsam - Suffer The Masses lyrics

The promise cast, the hopeful lured

Stabbing by the pointed words

Tortures of the damned you'll find

Guilt preys upon the human mind

All you know and all you feel

Is all there is and all that's real

Innocent told you're a worthless pain

Eventually drives all insane

Bleak optimism gained

A lame excuse to hide the pain

Instinct stifled be ashamed

For what you feel is right and sane

Suffering, told what you feel and need is wrong

When conflicting with the machine

The machine that's run so long

Suffer the masses, contradicting views inside

Suffer the masses, the personality divides

Suffer the masses, what's told and what you know

Suffer the masses, now, now the neuroses grows

Generations handed down

The false smile to hide your frown

Instinct stifled don't be afraid

For what you feel is right and sane

The promise cast, the hopeful lured

Stabbed by the pointed words

Tortures of the stabbed you'll find

As guilt devours your broken mind
