Lyrics
what process is so weak,
that our knowledge of it would break it,
what need do you have,
to hide what should be public,
what demon do you worship,
in what tongue are your prayers,
in the name of security,
we're criminals to even care,
what is my life is now a crime,
what is it that I should know,
what have you done behind the doors,
when do you come and take me,
what in my life has become a crime,
why is my soul not free,
what have you done behind the doors,
when do you come and take me,
didn't you think that we knew,
what you are plotting and want to make home,
close the doors, close your mind,
do you even have ears to listen,
in a cave, behind a desk,
the terror you face now sits beside you,
different names, equal values,
security is a wretched farce,
you're acting like criminals,
so I'll trust (treat?) you like them,
you treat us like criminals,
forbid to us what you are doing,
I beg you to stay behind the doors,
but I wish that they were bars,
you have no right to decide,
the way in which our lives are guided,
imprison me and torture us,
yet the terror still reigns on,
from your puny minds to your engrandized lies,
if it must be closed then it must be broken,
[without an audit, without a clue,
it may be fair but how can we know,
without a light, without clear reason,
perhaps you walk the road to hell.]
I am demon malfactor, I've stood by and watched the poor get beaten,
I've given ropes to lynch mobs and sharpened the blade on the guillotine,
I've improsoned many men and shot their neighbours because they were listening,
I spied on my countrymen and now the government still protects me,
and I've bound her arms so that the gang may rape her.
You can't know me because I'm hidden -- it is a clandestine game I play.
Behind closed doors we negotiate and I promise this time it will be different.
You don't need to know me, all you need to do is trust me.
