Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One man holds the world hostage
For his petty satisfaction
To watch the chain reaction
While he makes a redaction
[Verse 2]
One man holds the world hostage
To satisfy the sickness
While the rest of us bear witness
He'll say it's only business
[Chorus]
Why do I keep feeling
Like we've been this way before?
Why do I keep feeling
Like a soldier in a holy war
That I never signed up for?
[Verse 3]
One man holds the world hostage
'Cause he's afraid of his feelings
And he's a fraud when he's dealing
No telling what he's concealing
[Verse 4]
One man holds the world hostage
Bulletproof and big as Jesus
Gonna do just what he pleases
Till it's all torn to pieces
[Chorus]
Why do I keep feeling
Like we've been this way before?
Why do I keep feeling
Like a soldier in a holy war
That I never signed up for?
[Chorus]
Why do I keep feeling
Like we've been this way before?
Why do I keep feeling
Like a soldier in a holy war
That I never signed up for?
[Outro]
One man holds the world hostage
Preaching to his choir
Pouring gas on the fire
The situation's getting dire
