False Demagogue Songtext

von The Templars

I remember when we were new recruits
Fresh shaven heads and brand new boots
Full of passion, proud and true
Hanging out on the avenue

CHORUS
You were a false demagogue
Who wanted badly to be God
A soapbox preacher on a false crusade
You walked away from the mess you made

When I think back now it makes me sick
Your mind got poisoned by politics
Infected the young with your extreme views
They didn't know how they were being used

CHORUS

You put down all who refused to follow
We saw your rhetoric rang so hollow
Said we were sitting on the fence
You were everything you fought against

CHORUS

You used the scene for your own ends
You made enemies out of friends
Walked away once you had your fun
We're still left with the damage you've done

CHORUS
