Victim of deceit

Couldn't have fallen higher
You left a lewd desire
Shot down from the sky like a hunted bird
Pressure of circumstance
You have been taking chances
Now it's going to wrack
There's a knife stabbed in you back

You're the victim of deceit
It's all been covered nice and neat
To make it all fall down on you like pouring rain
You're the wounded and the clown
The target for contemptuous frowns
Like you're the only one, redeemer of the stain

The power of denial
Overruled by betrayal
Take the blame like it's what you deserve
And when the trial had ended
Justice was done splendid
Jeers and hoots for you
They're too dumb to see, it's the right thing that you do You're the victim of deceit
It's all been covered nice and neat
To make it all fall down on you like pouring rain
You're the wounded and the clown
The target for contemptuous frowns
Like you're the only one, redeemer of the stain

Why not to grab the bait when it's at hand?
Who the hell is to tell you that you can't?
It's easy if you feel no shame and don't believe in hell
I can tell

You're the victim of deceit
It's all been covered nice and neat
To make it all fall down on you like pouring rain
You're the wounded and the clown
The target for contemptuous frowns
Like you're the only one, redeemer of the stain
