It's the mystery of iniquity...

When it all...

All falls down...

Telling you all...
Gm
It all falls down

It all falls down
[Verse]
Am Dm
Yo! Y'all can't handle the truth in a courtroom of lies
Gm
Perjures the jurors, witness despised
Cm
Crooked lawyers, false indictments publicized
Am
It's entertainment, the arraignments, the subpoenas
Dm
High profile gladiators in bloodthirsty arenas
Gm
Enter the Dragon, black-robe crooked-balance
Souls bought and sold and paroled for thirty talents
Gm (Single strum)
Court reporter catch the circus on the paper
Am
File it in the system not acknowledged by the Maker
Dm
Swearing by the bible blatantly blasphemous
Gm
Publicly perpetrating that "In God We Trust"
Cm Cm G# Am
Cross-examined by a master manipulator
Dm
The faster intimidator receiving the judge's favor
Gm
Deceiving sabers doing injury to their neighbors
Cm
For status, gratis, apparatus and legal waivers
See the bailiff representing security
Holding the word of God soliciting perjury
Am Dm
The prosecution, political prostitution
Gm
The more money you pay, the further away solution
Cm
Legal actors, Babylon's benefactors
Am
Masquerading as the agency for the clients
Am
Hypocritical giants, morally non-compliant
Gm
Orally armed to do bodily harm
Gm
Polluted, recruited and suited judicial charm
Am
And the defense isn't making any sense
Am
Faking the confidence of escaping the consequence
Dm
That a defendant is depending on the system
Gm
Totally void of judgment purposely made to twist em'
Cm
Emotional victim blackmailed by the henchmen
Framed by intentions
Am
Inventions whereby they lynch men
Dm
Enter the false witness slandering the accused
Gm
Planting the seed openly showing he's being used
To discredit, edit, headed for the alleged
Cm Gm Am
Smearing the individual fearing the unsuspected
Dm
Expert witness (the paid authority)
Gm
Made a priority to deceive the majority
Of disinterested peers, dodging duty for years
Cm Gm Am
Hating the process, waiting to be returning to their careers
Am
Do we expect the system made for the elect
Gm
To possibly judge correct? Properly serve and protect?
Cm
Materially corrupt, spiritually amuck
Am
Oblivious to the cause, prosperously bankrupt
Am
Blind leading the blind, guilty never defined
Filthy as swine, a generation purin it's own mind
Gm Cm
Legal extortion, blown out of proportion
Gm Am
In vein deceit, the truth is obsolete
Dm
Only two positions: victimizer or victim
Gm
Both end up in destruction trusting this crooked system
Mafia with diplomas keeping us in a coma
Am (strum to the beat)
Trying to own a piece of the "American Corona"
The Revolving Door, insanity every floor
Dm Gm
Skyscraping, paper chasing, what are we working for?
Cm
Empty traditions, reaching social positions
Teaching ambition to support the family superstition?
Am Dm
When the Son of Perdition is Commander in Chief
The standard is Thief; brethren, can we candidly speak?
Gm
Woe to the men, trusted in the chariots dem'
Cm Am
Leaning on horses, they run their intellectual sources
Counterfeit wisdom creating the illusion of freedom
Dm
Confusion consumes them
Gm
Every word they speak it turns them outwardly white
Internally they absent of light
Cm
Trapped in the night and bonded to the Cain of the night
Am
Under the curse, evil men waxing more worse
Dm
Faxing the first, angelic being cast to the earth
Gm
It's time for rebirth, burnin up the branch and the root
Cm
The empty pursuits of every tree bearing the wrong fruit
Am Cm
Turn and be healed, let him who stole, no longer steal
Gm
Oh it's real, surrender for Jehovah is real
How long will you sleep, troubled by the thoughts that YOU keep
Cm Gm Am
The idols YOU heap, causing the destruction you reap
Judgment has come, find it and return to the One
Dm Gm
Abandon the flesh, self-interest: Broadway to death
Cm
Pride and the Greed, hide and subdividing the seed
Gm Am
The knowledge of Good and Evil is what caused us to lie
Caused us to die, let your emotions be crucified
Dm
Renounce all your thoughts
Repent and let your mind be re-taught
Gm
You'll find what you sought
Cm
Was based on the deception you bought
Gm Am
A perception of naught where the majority remains caught
AM
Loving a lie, not realizing in Adam, all die
Dm
Loving a lie, not realizing in Adam, all die
Gm
Loving a lie, not realizing in Adam, all die
Cm
Loving a lie, not realizing in Adam, all die
[Chorus]
Am Gm
It's the mystery of iniquity...
Am Gm
Said it's the misery of Inequity...
Am Gm
Said it's the history of Inequity...
Am
When it all...
Gm
All falls down...
Am
Telling you all...
Gm
It all falls down
