Who's da' man
Elias Lyrics

Look at the world we're living in
Reflecting on the state of the world

War, hate, killing the innocent
Expressing disgust at the violence and atrocities committed in the world

Manipulating our brains
Pointing out how propaganda and misinformation are used to control people

We're just victims of the insane
Acknowledging how those in power can be corrupt and harmful to society

Poisoned lives, unholy decadence
Speaking out against unhealthy and immoral behavior

Filling the new with your sick ignorance
Criticizing those who spread ignorance and intolerance

Sending our children to war
Questioning the motives and morality of military conflict

Tell me what they are dying for
Demanding an explanation for why so many lives are lost in war

Who's playing God?
Asking who is responsible for the chaos and injustice in the world

Global conflict, this war will never end
Reflecting on the ongoing pattern of violence and aggression in the world

Blame it all on misguided religions
Suggesting that religious beliefs can be used as a pretext for violence and conflict

Continue your senseless fight
Urging people to stop perpetuating the cycle of violence

I see no end in sight
Pessimistically predicting continued conflict and suffering

East, west following prophecies
Noting how religious beliefs and prophecies can divide people by geography and culture

Comes to us by radio and TV
Observing how media can spread and amplify divisive ideologies

Who's telling the truth?
Questioning the veracity of information being spread

Can't you see they're fooling you?
Warning people not to be deceived by lies and propaganda

Nothing but lies is what they're always speaking
Asserting that those in power often operate through deceit

Power and greed is what they're really seeking
Accusing those in power of selfishness and corruption

Let's start a revolution all of our lines to them
Encouraging people to challenge and resist oppressive forces

They don't mean nothing, still they survive
Noting how corrupt systems can persist despite their flaws

They always think of something
Recognizing the resilience of oppressive forces

Watching our world crumbling down
Describing the feeling of witnessing social, political, and environmental collapse

And from above I don't hear a sound
Painting a bleak picture of a world devoid of guidance or intervention

Is there time, is there time
Expressing doubt about whether there's still a chance to make positive change

Time is short for every race of man
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of human existence

Seize the future, we must make a stand
Encouraging people to take action and work toward a better future

Stop living their lies, don't believe their alibis
Advocating for skepticism and critical thinking

Try to change the world before it ends
Urging people to act quickly and boldly to save the world from disaster

Global war on the horizon
Predicting further global conflict and suggesting a sense of foreboding

Why can't the powers that be
Asking why those in power don't work to make things better

Open their eyes and see
Urging those in power to recognize the dire situation the world is in

Got more than we bargained for
Acknowledging that the world is more complex and difficult than expected

I look in their eyes
Reflecting on the deceit and corruption of those in power

I see the lies
Recognizing the falsehoods and propaganda spread by those in power

There's no place to hide
Suggesting that the damage and impact of oppression cannot be ignored or avoided

Who's playing God?
Repeating the central question of the song, urging listeners to reflect on the forces that shape the world
