Can this world be a masquerade
Are you really what we see on the outside
And hidin' what what you really are on the inside
Pretending that you're something you're really not

Whole world is a masquerade
Everybody, everybody wears another face

Can't you see what you really are
Pretending that you want the world
To be a better place,
Fightin', makin' war on your fellow man

So why wear this face
That makes it seem everything's so great

Whole world is a masquerade
Everybody, everybody wears another face
