lyrics

Does your conscience
Keep you up at night
Did your bleeding heart pay
The market price
There are rumors and suspicion
Tapped telephone lines
Biblical conviction
Hustling the end of times
Long white, table linen
Where you've placed your knife
And taken up important positions
With men of power and their wives
There's no blueblood in the kitchen
There's no blueblood in the mines
There's no blueblood in a soldiers coffin
Comin' home from the front lines

Don't let the truth get to you

Priests and politicians
Conjurors and liars
Scribes of elaborate excuses
In ivory towers
News on television
Not taking any sides
Modern journalism's
Just a little tongue-tied
And if the emperor's new rhetoric
Rings hollow in the night
It's just the redacted cadence
Of freedom losing its mind
It's the cost of doing business
It's a terrible price
When the change that caught you believing
Was just nickels and dimes

Don't let the truth get to you
