One man holds the world hostage
For his petty satisfaction
To watch the chain reaction
While he makes a redaction

One man holds the world hostage
To satisfy a sickness
While the rest of us bear witness
He'll say it's only business

Why do I keep feeling
Like we've been this way before
Why do I keep feeling
Like a soldier in a holy war
That I never signed up for

One man holds the world hostage
Cause he's afraid of his feelings
And he's a fraud when he's dealing
No telling what he's concealing

One man holds the world hostage
Bulletproof and big as Jesus
Gonna do just what he pleases
Til it's all torn to pieces

One man holds the world hostage
Preaching to his choir
Pouring gas on the fire
The situation's getting dire
