The Chosen One

You glide through the ugly scene Like an eel riding Vaseline Listen in to everyone Keep your distance from the smoking gun

Pulling strings from forbidden rooms Greasing palms when you need to Stop at nothing to get your way Right or wrong

And you lied But we'll never know the half of what you've done Oh no, you must be the chosen one

Breathing air with the fêted few Assassin smiling like an ingénue You're the enemy they're keeping close The friend that they fear the most

Did you call every favour in When the whole affair hit the fan? Tell me how you can sleep at night After all you've done

Go and hide While your friends all take the blame You cut and run Because you're the chosen one

And it's no surprise As you're slithering out the shade back into the sun You're looking like the chosen one

When the world was camped at your door Just like karma's army had come for a war Was that a tear in the steely eye Of the Almighty's favoured chosen child?

And you lied And God only knows what the hell you've done You can't question the chosen one

And it's no surprise You're coming around again like you were never gone No shame about what you've done You must be the chosen one
