Weighed all the evidence and passed it on

Turned around and left it sight unseen

There was no chance, the chains held way too strong

To free the restrictions of your own beliefs



Watch the old ones

Fixed in their convictions

Steadfast in their stories

Enraptured by their glory



And at the end that's all you've got

You don't know what you are, just what you're not

Until the story's over



You are so delicate but bullet proof

A little fiction goes a long, long way

You are the first, the last and the walking truth

The black and white when everything is gray



Watch the young ones

Fixed in their convictions

Steadfast in their stories

Enraptured by their glory



Now we're shouting but the words aren't taking hold

We're playing by the rules we're fucking told

And we are just a bark without a bite

And we have chosen darkness to the light



Wait just a second it's your last chance to accept it

You thought you changed the program

But it's just like you left it

You stood against each other and the best got the best of you

You had your time and you let it die

The joke's always been on you
