Pulling at the strings
Trying to control things
Changing all the rules
Just to keep you in
Holding all the power
Unwilling to retire
Stealing all the cash
But it will never last
Decade plus of ruling
But still you are going
Manipulating what you can
Proxy wars are everything
Invading for some land
Annexing what you can
No insignia to see
Claiming terrorists are close by
Bombing civilians
Illegal use of weapons
Pretend there are no victims
While rigging elections
Stuck in a time past
Still you think it will last
Making freedom a myth
As you control the narrative
