Manipulated

i tell them i was manipulated
and they don't speak to me
they ask those who manipulated
I don't know how to breathe 

the manipulators paint the scene
and even though I shout and scream
manipulators paint the scene 
and worst of all I'm painted mean 

they don't even come to me
they don't even look to see

I'm not even involved 
yet ideas evolve

this is just insanity
is this really humanity 
ignorant brutality 
how the hell can it be
