The Endless Enigma (part One) Lyrics - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Why do you stare 

Do you think that I care? 

You've been misled 

By the thoughts in your head 

Your words waste and decay 

Nothing you say 

Reaches my ears anyway 

You never spoke a word of truth 

Why do you think 

I believe what you said 

Few of your words 

Ever enter my head 

I'm tired of hypocrite freaks 

With tongues in their cheeks 

Turning their eyes as they speak 

They make me sick and tired 

Are you confused 

To the point in your mind 

Though you're blind 

Can't you see you're wrong 

Won't you refuse 

To be used 

Even though you may know 

I can see you're wrong 

Please, please, please open their eyes 

Please, please, please don't give me lies 

I ruled all of the earth 

Witnessed my birth 

Cried at the sight of a man 

And still I don't know who I am 

(Chorus) 

I've seen paupers as kings 

Puppets on strings 

Dance for the children who stare 

You must have seen them everywhere
