Intro: , , , , , ,
Does your conscience
keep you up at night?
Did your bleeding heart pay
market price?
There are rumors and suspicion
Tagged telephone lines
Biblical conviction must have been the end of times.
Continue pattern of ,,,,,, for verses
Long white table linen
Where you placed your knife
And taking up important positions
With men of power and their wives
Thereâs no blue blood in the kitchen.
Thereâs no blue blood in the mines.
Thereâs no blue blood in a soldierâs coffee
Coming home from the front lines.
Donât let the truth get to you.
Donât let the truth get to you.
Donât let the truth get to you.
Donât let the truth get to you.
Continue pattern for second chorus
Preachers and politicians
Conjurers and liars
Scraps of elaborate excuses
And ivory towers
Whoâs on television?
Not taking any sides
Modern journalism is just a little bit tongue tied.
And when the emperorâs new rhetoric
Rings hollow in the night
Itâs just the redacted cadence of freedom losing its mind.
Itâs the cost of doing business.
Itâs a terrible price
When the change that caught you believing
Was just nickels and dimes.
Donât let the truth get to you.
Donât let the truth get to you.
Donât let the truth get to you.
Donât let the truth get to you.
