Devil or God

Ruinous Delusions
Ruinous Delusions
Ruinous Delusions
Faced with sweet Ruinous Delusions
About privilege
Corruption of my Eternal soul,
These are some of the things,
I will never know.

Black and White
White and Black
Black and White
Crazy Love. Crazy Love.
Bipolar Manic. Bipolar Manic
Bipolar Manic. Bipolar Manic
Love is crazy. Crazy is love.
Rich or poor. Poor or rich.
Young and old. Old and young.
Nowhere or anywhere you can stand.
As the marching band of time
Plays on and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
But the privilege of life
That's just finite
We ONLY have so much,
Time in the sun.
So those that suck the joy
Out of life,
Are never ever ANY fun.
Are never ever ANY fun.
My ethereal privilege is
I never have to really listen
To You

Or follow a blasted,
Thing that you do.
A blasted thing
That you do.
How self-centered
Can you be?
That I must examine
Everything from your prism?
That you see.
How self-centered
How self-centered
How self-centered
Can you be.
Can you be.

Black and White
White and Black
Black and White
Rich or Poor
Poor or Rich
Love. Love. Love.
It's all you need.
Always be sure,
To feed the wolf
That you need.
Only God can know our destiny
Only fools dare to see what remains
Forever pure in everyone's hearts

'Cause this is the surest way
To tear our society apart.
Nobody can know what's in your heart…
Don't be a Devil's plaything
Don't be tearing society apart
Don't be a Devil's plaything
Don't be tearing society apart
No one but the Devil or God
No one but the Devil or God
Should be able to have the
Privilege or Power
Power or Privilege
To tear all that we know
Apart
Apart
Apart
Apart
Apart
