paroles de chanson Stranger Than Fiction - Dizzy Parker

Clouds are rolling in and the leaves are turning brown
And a cover of darkness settles over this town
The way the weather changes always giving me chills
But I gotta let it go because I gotta pay these bills
I never take the time to kick back and enjoy the scenery
Before you know it happens we're losing all the greenery
And I can tell you're wondering what I am trying to get at
I wanna tell the truth but nobody's trying to hear that
So sit right back and let me tell you this tale
Of how you think we're living free but we're following a trail
A path that leads only to destruction
You think this is the real world but it's only a production
Set for the characters just playing a role
Performing all the lines and just doing as we're told
I know you think you're comfortable but that's just one of the tricks and
Let me tell you now, truth is stranger than fiction

Welcome to the carnival
Games and prizes and tricks unfold
Guard your wallet and guard your soul
Sit right back and enjoy the show

So let's go down the rabbit hole, see this for what it really is
But this is not a wonder land with silly tricks for silly kids
The fear you feel is just your intuition kicking in
To help you with the dreariness of what you're really living in
The first exhibit is what they give us when we're children
Us with commercials, addictive materialism
Then they rip us from our homes, part of the system
Teach us algebra, chemistry, and nothing about wisdom
And then come the years of the chains of student debt
For the times your won't forget about the things you might regret
But don't worry little ones because now you can vote
But before you do that we'll just remove all of your hope
Because remember you're nothing but an ape wearing clothing
Walking upright in a world because nothing exploded
And made everything you see so you can accomplish your dreams
You can trust us we're just the ones holding the strings

Welcome to the carnival
Games and prizes and tricks unfold
Guard your wallet and guard your soul
Sit right back and enjoy the show
Don't you fear, it's make believe
Just don't peak behind the scenes
We'll show you your wildest dreams
Remember nothing is what it seems

So here's the situation, they're not even trying to hide it
Everybody's jaded now, we all just stay divided
Living in our little world, stuck behind our little screens
Waste another minute as we share our stupid little memes
Behind the scenes they want to keep us in the matrix
Crooks and thieves, how much longer can they fake it
While we feed the machine and we never know the cost
We think we're living our lives but our souls are lost
Not just temporarily, potentially forever we
Will never see the better that forever we were meant to be
So pull back the curtain, show the wizard as a fake
He can shower you with gifts but remember what he takes
The devil's in the details but he meets you at the cross roads
Lost souls don't know where the costs goes
You think you're happy but that's one of the tricks and
I'll just remind you that truth is stranger than fiction

Welcome to the carnival
Games and prizes and tricks unfold
Guard your wallet and guard your soul
Sit right back and enjoy the show
Don't you fear, it's make believe
Just don't peak behind the scenes
We'll show you your wildest dreams
Remember nothing is what it seems

Welcome to the carnival
Games and prizes and tricks unfold
Guard your wallet and guard your soul
Sit right back and enjoy the show
Don't you fear, it's make believe
Just don't peak behind the scenes
We'll show you your wildest dreams
Remember nothing is what it seems
