The Story It's Always the Same

The cards are marked
 The dies are loaded
 And the world's a game that's been rigged
 The ferris wheel goes round and round
 And there is always the ...? to blame
 Cause the story it's always the same
 Big man is inside his palazzo
 While the little man scrambles in the streets
 And that's exactly where they'll both stay
 Until the world starts going round and round
 And the story it's always the same
 Cause your cities are built upon bones
 And history's written by the victors
 And it's always written, yes it's always written
 In fever and ashes and blood
 Your eyes bulge ...? your beauty
 but beauty demands a high price
 Cause when the fog lifts and the winds shift
 Things are rarely what they seem
 And you heard it all before
 Cause the story is always the same
