oh so superficial
you see someone with tattoos
and you think you have to be aware
cause he might do harm to you
but in fact it's mostly those who seem
to be harmless and so smart
they are the ones without a conscience
the ones without a heart

who starts wars?
suits and ties
who's leading in crime?
suits and ties
who makes thousands unemployed?
suits and ties

who's corrupt?
suits and ties
words full of crap
suits and ties
who's always wearing a disguise?
suits and ties

yeah they look so convincing
oh you can trust their ways
but they fail lots of decisions
that end so many peoples days
and you - you still believe them
cause you judge others by their look
it's so easy to betray you dude
and to get you on the hook

who let's the third world die?
suits and ties
who betrays his wife?
suits and ties
and behind nice curtains beats up his child
suits and ties

and the wild looking punks
you look down at with despise
work in old peoples homes
or take care of a disabled child
are teachers or educators
try to live for things that count
and it seems that in their heart
some love for people can be found
