It’s been awhile since sincerity
Has been used to move hearts
My cries of emotion is what I feel
Not just a play to win the part
Years of deceit lead to depression
Lost and afraid you work so hard
Without the truth you get obsessive
Fill in the gaps by keeping busy
Living easy is hard to do
Staying relaxed amidst all the motion
Singing and sighing and shouting and trying
While floating so light in your ocean
Men who do rule seek subjugation
Men who do rule demand loyalty
The will to be free is no slight transgression
Sharing a meal is weak heresy
They want you scared and oh so anxious
They want you to believe life’s on the decline
They’ll feed your addictions while heaping shame
Say you’re responsible it’s your life
The man in the mirror is losing face
Our standard of living is falling off the pace
The fear they foster keeps us docile and meek
Their supposed wars for freedom is not what they seek
Years of deceit lead to depression
Lost and afraid you work so hard
Without the truth you get obsessive
Fill in the gaps by keeping busy
We fail to peek beyond the debate
Right and wrong are our only choices
It’s 50/50 or so they say
What feels right we’re told is wrong
Beat the terrorists is their perpetual song
What is logical is conspiracist theory
As naked aggression passes for diplomacy
Ooh, ooh, yes, for goodness sake
Ooh, ooh, yes, give me a break
Tell me, tell me, tell me something real
