SAY SOMETHING TRUE

One-sided, two-sided, red-sided, blue
Distorting the truth with a blind point of view
You say you have the answer - I have to disagree, sir
You don’t know what you’re talking about

Distracted, protracted, outlandish disputes
You overreact with malicious refutes
It’s all a bit reductive, not a bit productive
No one cares how loud you can shout

Just say something true
It’s getting harder to break through
Say something true
Or better yet, say nothing at all (shh)

Left-sided, right-sided, blind-sided fools
Power is taken by breaking the rules
We need a new solution, a seismic revolution
Or maybe we’re too little too late

To say something true
It’s getting harder to break through
Say something true
Or better yet, say nothing at all
Better to say nothing at all
We’re all in this together, tethered by the weight of the world

One-sided, two-sided, red-sided, blue
We all sing along while ignoring the tune
A broken little whisper, fading like a picture
Burning in a flicker of light

Say something true
It’s getting harder to break through
Say something true
Or better yet, say nothing at all
Better to say nothing at all
We’re all in this together, tethered by the weight of the world
