Contacts in high places Get you everything you need As long as you keep your silence And then one day they tell you Persona non grata Their lies and deceit Persona non grata You had it all, now you have nothing Do you remember who you were Before they took your identity? Before they shut all the doors And left you in the dark? No bribe can give you freedom Broken dreams thrown to the wind Empty lies scattered around you Drowning you in their greed Where will you go now? Who's going to save you now? Persona non grata Their lies and deceit Persona non grata You had it all, now you have nothing As time passes by You Pray it'll kill the pain This hatred within May it release you and set you free How unfortunate that we live in a world Where those in power abuse our trust! How disheartening is our future When the honest and poor are abused?
