A Terrible Mistake

Let's play a game that we're not equal
 I'll be the cat
 You'll be my prey
 The rules have no end
 Eventually the roles will be swapped
 There's no need to rush
 I can't breathe
 A terrible mistake was made
 We've gained and used so much power in such a short time
 Let's play a game that we're not equal
 I'll be rich
 You'll rely on my grace
 The rules as we've made them work just fine for me
 And I hope it works for you too my brother
 Right here
 Somebody else is being treated
 The way I wouldn't like to be treated
 I
 I've made
 I've made a terrible mistake when I excluded myself
 I
 I've made
 I've made a terrible mistake when I turned away my conscience
 After a while I found myself standing by
 Stuck in time
 I want to be a better human of any colour or shade
 I just need to be engaged
 Right now
 I can't breathe
 I can't breathe
 I can't breathe
 A terrible mistake was made
 We've gained and used so much power in such a short time
 I
 I've made
 I've made a terrible mistake when I excluded myself
 I
 I've made
 I've made a terrible mistake when I turned away my conscience
