Lyrics

The annointed one - fathers favorite son
Now we see, long before the race, you'd already won
Oh beautified, with the softest eyes
These days I can't escape your face, do you remember mine?
Oh, it haunts me
Ooh, what a fool I must have been
We saw red, not green, when we were nineteen
Now something's different
Something happened, somewhere therebetween
By the river bend
Did I misapprehend your sincerity
Or is it that you have changed, friend?
Oh, it haunts me
Ooh, how could I not have seen what you'd become?
But you fooled everyone
Lace curtains in our slum
You are the annointed one
Alright!
Watching you grow with the pride of a friend
Kissing off school - there were rules to be bent
Knelt by your side through our crises of faith
Mine was on time, but for you it was already too late
In the capitol, with your freezer full
Do you represent your district, or your daddy's will?
Oh, it haunts me
Ooh, how could I not have seen what you'd become?
But you fooled everyone
Lace curtains in our slum
You are the annointed one
What have you become?
Ah! you fooled everyone
Lace cutains in our slum
You were the annointed one
