Smoke and Mirrors
Salems Lott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've never been bad
Your heart is fooled
But your mind is dirty
Welcome to the new generation
Freedom to speak
If i share the common opinion
Play my role
I See no evil in the hypocrites world
Well I'm breaking out
And i‘m headin' your way
I'm the fear that your tv hid away
(Bad Blood)
Nobody dares to challenge your name
(nail me to the cross)
Because your spite keeps the dogs in place
(run)
From your right
(white Knight)
(stay)
On Your Knees
(white knight)
Bitching and whining
Always playing the victim
But you're leading the offense
Of a castrating system
Welcome to the new generation
Legislate hate
To fit the feminized opinion
Everywhere i go
Everything I see
Double Standards
Staring back at me
We live from a re-written past
New breed is paying for the last
Even the law wants to rape me
Now I'm fighting back
Bridge
I have no guilt
I have no shame
Make no apology
You've got yourself to blame
Equality's got a price
That you don't wanna pay
You reap it all
Without the pain
Disposable man
Keep up with the times
I'll play your demon
Cus I'm damned either way
Self entitled
Never satisfied
Filled with
(Bad Blood)
Solo (Jett)
Fire
Don't let it turn you
Desire
Don't let it burn you
