Lying here so weary, girl Just crying over you The colors in our rainbow How they've all turned blue Raindrop in the ocean That's what you've made of me today But still I search for the answer To why you went away I've seen darkness I've seen the light I felt the pain, oh, the pain In the dead of night (In the dead of night) Cheated (I've been cheated) My heart's been bruised Cheated (I've been cheated) All my life I've just been used Let me tell you, darling If you read the lines upon my face They're sure enough to tell you My head's out of place Maybe tomorrow, girl You'll come back to set me free 'Cause you know, it's only you, babe Who holds the golden key I've seen darkness I've seen the light I feel the pain, oh, the pain In the dead of night (In the dead of night) Cheated (I've been cheated) My heart's been bruised Cheated (I've been cheated) All my life I've just been used Whoah... cheated (I've been cheated) My heart's been bruised Cheated (I've been cheated) All my life I've just been Cheated (I've been cheated) You bruised my heart, you bruised my heart Cheated All my life I've just been used (I've been cheated) Cheated, cheated, cheated I've been cheated! (I've been cheated) Cheated, cheated, cheated I've been cheated! (I've been cheated) Cheated, cheated, cheated I've been cheated! (I've been cheated) Cheated, cheated, cheated I've been cheated! (I've been cheated) Cheated, cheated, cheated I've been cheated!

Egos are raging, violent as a storm Fighting took all power, can never see the harm Psychological warfare, ruling the day Those political headgames, you have to learn to play Judas men on chariots Both faces, both faces to the crowd Backstabbing swordsmen Can't hold their heads up proud Open no doors, can't see your way in A paranoid frenzy, surrounded by sin Divisive with a passion, ruthless to their prey Showing no compassion, let nothing stand in their way Judas men on chariots Both faces, both faces to the crowd Backstabbing swordsmen Can't hold their heads up proud All mortals to the slaughter, the mogul's out to kill Directing every move, using you at will Have they no conscience, they don't feel your pain Locking you in torment, they're driving you insane Judas men on chariots Both faces, both faces to the crowd Backstabbing swordsmen Can't hold their heads up proud
