Suffer The Masses Lyrics - When The Storm Comes Down - Flotsam And Jetsam

The promise cast, the hopeful lured 

Stabbing by the pointed words 

Tortures of the damned you'll find 

Guilt preys upon the human mind 

All you know and all you feel 

Is all there is and all that's real 

Innocent told you're a worthless pain 

Eventually drives all insane 

Bleak optimism gained 

A lame excuse to hide the pain 

Instinct stifled be ashamed 

For what you feel is right and sane 

Suffering, told what you feel and need is wrong 

When conflicting with the machine 

The machine that's run so long 

Suffer the masses, contradicting views inside 

Suffer the masses, the personality divides 

Suffer the masses, what's told and what you know 

Suffer the masses, now, now the neuroses grows 

Generations handed down 

The false smile to hide your frown 

Instinct stifled don't be afraid 

For what you feel is right and sane 

The promise cast, the hopeful lured 

Stabbed by the pointed words 

Tortures of the stabbed you'll find 

As guilt devours your broken mind
