Dying For Truth And Living With Lies
( Verse 1 )
The cute little mottos and the trite pholosophies
are deception in marketed pride.
While down in the trenches, truth is held in chains
they keep that all quietly hid inside.
Formulaically processing rhetoric and rhymes
presumming they know how others feel.
But Emerson has taught us that self reliance
is the cornerstone for creative ideals
( Chorus A )
Dying for truth and living with lies
Everyone?s become desensitized.
Tired of every wrong always being justified
Dying for truth and living with lies
( Chorus B )
Dying for truth and living with lies
Tired of every wrong always being justified
( Verse 2 )
They say there?s never money for the classroom in the schools
while the kids still use out dated supplies
But the rich still get tax breaks and a new building?s going up
How can they look the children in the eyes?
Weddings are turned out on loveless assembly lines
with no thought given to their magnitude
If it doesn?t work out we?ll just go our own way
has now become the prevailing attitude
( Chorus A )
( Chorus B )
( Verse 3 )
Most messages today qualify what it?s okay
by the level of pleasure that?s gained.
Can a constitution change as quickly as a heart?
Is there understanding to refrain?
The assasins cold bullet penetrates father time
and is lodged deep inside of us all.
They lead us to believe that justice has been served
and feel that that they are all above the law.
( Chorus A )
( Chorus B )
