What if I told you every day was April fools day
And we were the biggest fools
Regurgitated propaganda
Repeat it back to me
Say it enough times and
It sounds true
But it’s all a lie
And it’s designed to make us cry
And separate you and I
Nobody knows why
If you’d like I will try
The only thing I know for sure
Is that I don’t have all the answers
Are you trying to turn me on?
‘Come on, you can trust me’ you say
‘I’ve never trusted anyone’ is my reply
‘I’ve done the research and the answers were written in invisible ink’
If I’ve got tunnel vision
So do you
That much I know is true
I wasn’t in the meeting
When they shared the classified documents
Were you there?
You seem so confident
Confidence is weakness
Ignorance is bliss
They’re just cliches if you’re not going to dig deep
What’s the definition of conspiracy
Light in the center of darkness
Or dark in the center of light
Maybe it’s like new age spirituality
Dump what doesn’t work
And as for the stuff that makes sense
That much you should keep
If you wear a smile
It’s better than the alternative
It may sound glib
But that’s the way I live
It’s the only way to take back control
For if not the bad guys have truly won
No one wants that
No one wants to do the work either
I’m ready to get to work
If there are holes in your plot
Maybe you should negotiate to make them iron clad
There’s lots of information dealers out there
Ready to make a deal
You say your eyes are open
But you cannot see
We were the biggest fools
Regurgitated propaganda
No one wants to hear
A half sincere apology
They know you’re only sorry because you got caught
I know you didn’t mean for things to go this far
But there’s no stopping the cancel machine
Until they pick your bones clean
You might recover one day
Because people forget instead of forgive
So I guess the things they wrote were true
I wouldn’t change a thing if I were you
Because at this point there’s nothing you can do
Except wait it out
If that’s the path you choose
I’ll stand by your side
I’ve got nothing left to lose
Regurgitated Propaganda
We can argue all day long
It’ll feel so good to get it off our chests
But give it a rest
And take a seat next to me
And let’s watch it all unfold
I hope it’s not too late
To get a great view
From above
Time is just a suggestion.
So what do you suggest?
I have some bad news
The next chapter is going to be hard
When evil is around every corner
Watch for the happy people
Know them
Embrace them
The way out
Is inside
Of all us
