Pray for Me, Part 1 (Dub Version)

(Oh!)

They say they love, they care for peace

They hide in the dark, they don't see (oh!)

They're chasing the plague, they can't sleep

Are you feeling the same? Pray for me

They say they love (say they love), they care for peace (they care for peace)

They hide in the dark, they don't see

They're chasing the plague (ah), they can't sleep

I know you're feeling the same

I know you're feeling it, I think we know who the villain is

Try fooling ourselves, we're not missing it

We know the tricks of a ventriloquist

Considering this isn't televised, the revolution isn't withering

So your opinions think I'm pinning it

You never know who could be listening

I got my criticism for ism and schisms that led to decisions that left in a deficit

Now we live in a suspicion and cynicism, we're not getting a benefit

And we see the innocence slipping, given the discipline of a hypocrite

We last more than we will admit, we dismiss what would still exist

They say they love, they care for peace

They hide in the dark, they don't see

They're chasing the plague, they can't sleep

Are you feeling the same? Pray for me

They say they love, they care for peace

They hide in the dark, they don't see (whoa)

They're chasing the plague, they can't sleep

Are you feeling the same?

Fool me once, learn a lesson, question a response

Fool 11 of me, the reoccurring enemy becomes what we don't want

Never the concern of, as if it's unheard of

Till the songbird turns to a weapon, and we're looking for a remedy

Must have slipped the memory, Kate Burke gains a melody

Crazed words of a truth seeker, forever fed up with the felonies

Need a recipe for whose keeper, they're never sentenced with a penalty

Burned away all of the elements, I tell them what is left isn't a legacy

They say the money's for a better function

But we're more abundant than they'll ever be

We pray the youth are able to discern the real from the fake

A fable can be fatal in the favor of your fate

May the truth be plain for you to see

If you're not awake, they'll tell you whatever it takes

The popular promise is vague, embrace the brain of the vacant

Enslave them with entertainment, there'll be no complaints of the containment

All in the name of engagement, from the ancients to the greats

To the future in our place, give them patience, give them faith

Give them approval, give them praise

I feel your presence when times are getting tough

I see a weapon dressed up as a dog

I feel your presence when times are getting tough

I see a weapon, weapon
