From the recording I Think I Like You.
This kinda follows on from "Games Of War", inasmuch as the powerful amongst us generally build their houses on fear, lies, innuendo and the lust for more power and control. This song is a warning that trust in those who use fear and coercion to control is dangerous, as more often than not, the facade they use is a smokescreen for the lies and fear they are really using in their lust for more fame or power.
Lyrics
We all ignored the warnings
Wool pulled over the eyes
Seen as some sort of saviour
With the sweetest sounding lies
Fear is ever powerful
True Love is never seen
Sowing fruit of division
Presented to you as clean
Can you see your way through the haze
Where's the pathway through this maze
What is it that you want to hear
Are you blinded by the fear?
It's a smokescreen oh no
A smokescreen ooh yeah
Smokescreen oh no
A smokescreen ooh yeah
So watch out
Be aware
Are you listening
Do you care
On your guard
Truth unseen
Clever lies
It's a smokescreen
Arms are raised in worship
Words sound oh so right
Wolf in sheep’s clothing
More than ready for the fight
Can you see your way through the haze
Where's the pathway through this maze
What is it that you want to hear
Are you blinded by the fear?
It's a smokescreen oh no
A smokescreen ooh yeah
Smokescreen oh no
A smokescreen ooh yeah
So watch out
Be aware
Are you listening
Do you care
On your guard
Truth unseen
Clever lies
It's a smokescreen
Can you see your way through the haze
Where's the pathway through this maze
What is it that you want to hear
Are you blinded by the fear?
It's a smokescreen oh no
A smokescreen ooh yeah
Smokescreen oh no
A smokescreen ooh yeah
