Hypocrite
Warrior Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just another hypocrite
Just another name
Righteous indignation
Just another body to burn

A living contradiction
You've got no authority
Presuming to be human
But you can't see

You're just another hypocrite
Nothin' but a fake
Just another hypocrite
Just another body to break

You suffocate my world
You suffocate my life
You suffocating me

White collar corruption
Feats insatiable greed
Always sowing the seeds
Of social disease

You're just another hypocrite
Nothin' but a fake
Just another hypocrite
Just another body to break

You suffocate my world
You suffocate my life
You suffocating me

You were born without a soul
Now your world is closing in
Bowing down to power
Never gonna win

A life out of balance
Passing judgment to me




When you look into the mirror
Do you like what you see
