I was watching TV, looking at the news
It's 4am, a change is due
The Master teacher, the devotee
I see a lot of faces but they never see me
I read the papers, so doctrinaire
I look in the mirror but I'm not there
Then along came a man who said it's all true
Now I'm left alone with you
What the hell is going on
What the hell is going on
The princess dreams of wedding bells
And then she awakes to a life in Hell
Grown up wrong, a cloak of shame
And now she's looking for somebody to blame
In the secret world of the bureaucrat
The Judas priest feeds the dirty rat
Then along came a man who said it's all right
Just keep it out of sight
What the hell is going on
What the hell is going on
The Mystery Men, making wars
Talk like saints but act like whores
Hail the New World Order
The brotherhood of man
In God we trust the blind faith plan
They've let out all the inmates
And thrown away the key
It must be time to leave
What the hell is going on
(The Mystery Men, making wars
