lyrics

(Intro)

Don't you lie to me/Don't you lie to me/
Whispers in your ear/Lets play a game of hide & seek/
I know who you tryna be/Who you tryna be/
But you and I know that you will/Never find the key/
I am speakin' through the veil/Shifting metaphysics/
Just to see you fail your mission/You can tell I'm different/
Now you see no goin'/Back to the before times/
Let it slide too long/They pullin' war crimes/
Drive you mad and dial/Back 'til you can hardly stand it/
From the social engineers that/Brought you Charlie Manson/
If you really wanna/Persecute the Unabomber/
Maybe your first/Clue should be his alma mater/
Lone terrorists you/Blame for them attacks/
Really just experiments/Escapin out them labs/
Ain't no theory 'bout it/Ain't no gettin' out the game/
Now it seem like all your/Agents wanna come out to play /


(Chorus)
Let's play hide & seek/Let's play hide & seek/
See the devil in disguise/Don't you lie to me/
Let's play hide & seek/Let's play hide & seek/
Hope they listenin'/I'm prayin for the blind to see/

Let's play hide & seek/Let's play hide & seek/
When they come for you/Don't you come and cry to me/
No, really
Let's play hide & seek/Let's play hide & seek/
The clock been tickin'/For a minute now it's time to see/


This is not for the uninitiated/
This for the counter-culture/Legends unappreciated/
When the target is suspicious/Never double down/
Infiltrate and you can/Dictate the weather underground/
Cultivate the cult leader/Watch it implode/
Tried your best but your/Utopian was Jim Jones/
Clandestine operations that/Ruined lives/
To answer one question/
Can you break the human mind?/
Never fail to pay the plug/This your brain on drugs/
The great psychedelic/Trick that you played on us/
The great crack epidemic/From the 'caine y'all slung/
Turned our families to dust/To this day, no love/
No justice, no peace/On our own streets/
Destabilize us at home/Like you did overseas/
Spooks playin' in the/Shadows while they puppets dance/
Networks behind the/Curtain of your wonderland/

(Chorus)
Let's play hide & seek/Let's play hide & seek/
See the devil in disguise/Don't you lie to me/
Let's play hide & seek/Let's play hide & seek/
Hope you listenin'/I'm prayin for the blind to see/

Let's play hide & seek/Let's play hide & seek/
When they come for you/Don't you come and cry to me/
No, really
Let's play hide & seek/Let's play hide & seek/
The clock been tickin'/For a minute now it's time to see/

(Outro)
