Lyrics

I was playing both sides
I was playing both sides
I was playing both sides
One day you’re gonna lead me to the prize
Closing in I’ll throw you over the side
Give you an illusion of a fair-played game
You keep coming back but you’re destined to fail
Did you never question who planted the seed?
Who wrote the code, controls what you see?
One day you’re gonna need to eat from my palm
It’s like you’ve done this before
I’m playing both sides, controlling the strings
Unknowingly you’ll bend to my will again
You’ll take me close, then I’ll throw you aside
The end justifies the means
Even god was an arsonist
So im playing both sides
Playing both sides, playing both sides
I was playing both sides
Started a war by spreading a lie
Turning friends into enemies now for life
And I’ll make profit, I’ll sell you the gun
Even gods gamble with their pieces for fun
Did you never question who planted the seed?
Who wrote the code, controls what you see?
One day you’re gonna need to eat from my palm
It’s like you’ve done this before
I’m playing both sides, controlling the strings
Unknowingly you’ll bend to my will again
You’ll take me close, then I’ll throw you aside
The end justifies the means
Even god was an arsonist
So im playing both sides
Playing both sides, playing both sides
Even god was an arsonist
Divide and decimate
Don’t run out of my sight
Who wrote the code, controls what you see
Play with my pawns for fun
Who wrote the code, controls what you see
Go spread the rumour
Divide and conquer
Building an empire to decimate
And when you’ll find out
You’re left with nothing
What will you do to control the rage?
I’m playing both sides, controlling the strings
Unknowingly you’ll bend to my will again
You’ll take me close, then I’ll throw you aside
The end justifies the means
Even god was an arsonist
Time to overthrow him
Don’t run out of my sight
Divide and decimate
