To another mass deception, we better get wise –
Arsonists have come to town in salesmen’s disguise
We just keep telling ourselves “At least it isn’t here…”
All the more we’ll be frightened as the end will draw near
All cards laid down now, all evidence is there
Still, we’re too gullible and distracted to even care
Accomplice in your own downfall
Accomplice in your own downfall
Let it all burn to the ground
A barrel of petrol, a box of matches
Behold, the door to doom unlatches
An almost unreal sound: the firefighters’ choir
Sings as we watch our homes perish in the fire
Accomplice in your own downfall
Accomplice in your own downfall
Accomplice – too naïve to admit
Accomplice – your own part in it
