The Illusion Breaks

They scream at each other across the divide,
Red ties versus blue, with venom and pride.
One side shouts freedom, the other shouts care,
But both pull the levers from the same rocking chair.
Puppets keep fighting while the masters just grin,
Divided we fall, that’s how they always win.
Left hand points blame, right hand points back,
Same snake in the grass, same venom attack.
(Chorus)
It’s one snake with two heads, biting its tail,
Left versus right, but it’s all just a tale.
They feed you the fight so you never look down,
At the body that coils ‘round the whole damn town.
One snake, two heads, same poison inside,
Keep us at war while the real kings hide.
Wake up to the game, see through the charade,
It’s one beast controlling the parade.
(Verse 2)
They sell you the culture war, hot-button rage,
Guns and abortion, gender and page.
Keep you distracted, keep you in chains,
While they loot the treasury, laugh at the pains.
Elections are theater, scripted and staged,
Both parties owned by the same private cage.
Donkey or elephant, it’s all just disguise,
Two mouths on the monster with the same hungry eyes.
(Chorus)
It’s one snake with two heads, biting its tail,
Left versus right, but it’s all just a tale.
They feed you the fight so you never look down,
At the body that coils ‘round the whole damn town.
One snake, two heads, same poison inside,
Keep us at war while the real kings hide.
Wake up to the game, see through the charade,
It’s one beast controlling the parade.
(Bridge)
The illusion is cracking, the spell starts to break,
People connecting, for everyone’s sake.
No more left, no more right, just us versus them,
The snake in the shadows, the real problem.
Cut off the heads or starve out the core,
Unity’s coming, we won’t take any more.
(Outro)
One snake with two heads, but the body’s exposed,
The game is unraveling, the emperor’s clothes.
No more division, no more controlled hate,
Time to dismantle the ouroboros state.
One snake… two heads… but the people awake.
The cycle is broken, for freedom’s own sake.
