Trick Of The Light
Is it true what they said about Michael?
I heard it all over town
He took the family business
And ran it right straight into the ground
And then he swindled his mother
Slandered his brother
Slighted his father in the broad daylight
The ones that knew him said no good runs through him
And it's a matter of time
It's a matter of time before the fall
Yeah, a matter time before the fall
It's a matter of time before you fall prey
To that pride and prejudice
The hate the envy and lies
You think you see help coming
No, it's just a trick of the light
Well, it's true what they say about family
You really only pick your friends
They say that time can heal almost anything
But there are some wounds that won't ever mend
All those petty conceits
Tribal beliefs
Cultural creeds
And false tea leaf reads
The ones that doubt you
Now they wanna out you
And they say it's a matter of time
It's a matter of time before the fall
Yeah, a matter time before the fall
It's a matter of time before you fall prey
To that pride and prejudice
The hate, the envy, and lies
You think you see help coming
No, it's just a trick of the light
Trapped and stranded on the other side
And the bridge is out and the power lines are down
You think you see help coming?
It's just a trick of the light
Is it true what they say about money?
You can't take it with you when you die
But put a little change in my pocket
And let me give it a try
Sure as the champions fall
And the proud they will crawl
And the losers will move to the head of the line
The ones that doubt you now they wanna out you
And they say it's a matter of time
It's a matter of time before the fall
Yeah, a matter time before the fall
It's a matter of time before you fall prey
To that pride and prejudice
The hate, the envy, and lies
Pride and prejudice
The hate, the envy, and lies
Pride and prejudice
The hate, the envy, and lies
You think you see help coming
No, it's just a trick of the light
A trick of the light
It's just a trick of the light
It's just a trick of the light
A trick of the light
