A Terrible Mistake Lyrics

Let's play a game that we're not equal
I'll be the cat
You'll be my prey
The rules have no end
Eventually the roles will be swapped
There's no need to rush

I can't breathe
A terrible mistake was made
We've gained and used so much power in such a short time

Let's play a game that we're not equal
I'll be rich
You'll rely on my grace
The rules as we've made them work just fine for me
And I hope it works for you too my brother

Right here
Somebody else is being treated
The way I wouldn't like to be treated

I
I've made
I've made a terrible mistake when I excluded myself
I
I've made
I've made a terrible mistake when I turned away my conscience

After a while I found myself standing by
Stuck in time
I want to be a better human of any colour or shade
I just need to be engaged
Right now

I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
A terrible mistake was made
We've gained and used so much power in such a short time

I
I've made
I've made a terrible mistake when I excluded myself
I
I've made
I've made a terrible mistake when I turned away my conscience
