Altar Ego Lyrics

You've all got two faces, you've got to face this
A wolf in sheeps clothing with a heart unseen
Deceitful, scheming, sinister, rough, tough, tight and mean
You promise to embrace us, to take us places
We've never seen or we'll believe

Attack the attacker who started - it's clear you never will back down
If you say the truth is the truth only for you, then why cant you accept
That the truth all along is that you are in the wrong
But you cant face it, you cant face that

You've got an Altar Ego, and you bought it back in Clearwater
You've got an Altar Ego, you dont realise you're a lamb to the slaughter
You've got an Altar Ego, do you never ever think that you might not be right

Far worse than a common petty criminal
With much too much arrogance and greed to boot
Free to forget what they said, its judicial
The rulers see all, they dictate what you should feel
Because big brother is watching you

But you don't practice what you preach
When you smother others freedom of speech
If you say the truth is the truth only for you, then why cant you accept
That the truth all along is that you are in the wrong
But you cant face it, you cant face that

You've got an Altar Ego, and you bought it back in Clearwater
You've got an Altar Ego, you dont realise you're a lamb to the slaughter
You've got an Altar Ego, do you never ever think that you might not be right

You might trick them, you dont trick me - it's just another dark case of NLP
You might trick them, you dont trick me - it's just another dark case of NLP
You might trick them, you dont trick me - it's just another dark case of NLP
You might trick them, you dont trick me - it's just another dark case of NLP and

You've got an Altar Ego, and you bought it back in Clearwater
You've got an Altar Ego, you dont realise you're a lamb to the slaughter
You've got an Altar Ego, do you never ever think that you might not be right
