Ends and the Means by Monody Lyrics

They say seeing is believing
And heeding is impeding
Trade your youth for your future
And prosperity will be your cure
(You can't believe)
No one is the wiser
This is the blueprint of the miser

(The miser)

You hide and you run
From what can't be undone
The rules that you bend
They were just a means to an end

They say no one is to blame
For what it is that you became
Don't bother feeling guilty
Just accept this new morality
(Adjust your belief)
No one is the wiser
These are the markings of the liar
(The liar)

You hide and you run
From what can't be undone
The rules that you bend
They were just a means to an end
The sights and the sounds
Of the sky falling down
Bring yourself to your knees
Because the ends don't justify the means

They don't justify the means
They don't justify the means

They say here are your brothers
And hate all the others
Take an oath, serve your country
Do anything for security
(Your time to leave)
No one is the wiser
This is training from the smiter

(The smiter)

You hide and you run
From what can't be undone
The rules that you bend
They were just a means to an end
The sights and the sounds
Of the sky falling down
Bring yourself to your knees
Because the ends don't justify the means
You hide and you run
From what can't be undone
The rules that you bend
They were just a means to an end
The sights and the sounds
Of the sky falling down
Bring yourself to your knees
Because the ends don't justify the means
