The World That Cried Wolf (4:59) (Featured Track)

No matter which channel that you choose
It’s always heads, they win, and tails, we lose
The sounding of the clarion call on every evening news
Until our hearts grow numb to the abuse
It was a world that cried wolf, with no wolf at their door
Always preaching the end, never wanting it more
Now the wolf’s closing in on a house made of straw
When the world cried out wolf, no one heeded the call
Fear and anger shoving us around
An old refrain that’s run into the ground
With liars and cheats at every turn, the truth just can’t be found
They scream so loud our ears can’t hear the sound
It was a world that cried wolf, with no wolf at their door
Always raising the bar, ever upping the score
Now the roof’s caving in on a house made of straw
When the world cried out wolf, no one heeded the call
Wolves are always hungry for the sheep
A shepherd worth his salt can never sleep
A cry for help with no one there, the predator will creep
And bide his time until we’re in too deep
It was a world that cried wolf, now the wolf’s at their door
Every new danger seems ever worse than before
Now the door’s blowing in on a house made of straw
When the world cried out wolf, no one heeded the call
