Manipulation

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby I believed
Everything you said
Promises so sweet
Turned my head
Like a fool I fell
For your game
Now I see the truth
Feel the shame
[Pre-chorus]
You said you'd make it right
Said you'd make it great
But all you did was take
And manipulate
[Chorus]
You played me like
You played the nation
Sweet talking lies
Pure manipulation
(Pure manipulation)
You played me like
You played us all
Built your walls
To watch us fall
[Rap Verse]
Listen up, I got something to say
About how you took us all astray
Twitter fingers typing late at night
Acting like everything's alright
Alternative facts, that's what you called it
While the truth got buried in your wallet
Real estate deals and empty words
Making moves that seemed absurd
Rallies packed with blind devotion
While you caused such deep commotion
Divided us all, that was your game
Left the country wrapped in shame
Power trips and endless tweets
Democracy down on its knees
Now we're breaking free at last
Learning from mistakes we passed
[Chorus]
You played me like
You played the nation
Sweet talking lies
Pure manipulation
(Pure manipulation)
You played me like
You played us all
Built your walls
To watch us fall
[Bridge]
[Synth rise]
Time to wake up
Time to see
What you did
To you and me
No more lies
No more games
No more putting
Us to shame
[Chorus]
You played me like
You played the nation
Sweet talking lies
Pure manipulation
(Pure manipulation)
You played me like
You played us all
Built your walls
To watch us fall
(Watch us fall)
(Watch us fall)
