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

Long white table linen
Where you placed your knife
And taking up important positions
With men of power and their wives
There's no blue blood in the kitchen
There's no blue blood in the mines
There's no blue blood in a soldier's coffee
Coming home from the front lines

Don't let the truth get to you
Don't let the truth get to you
Don't let the truth get to you
Don't let the truth get to you

Preachers and politicians
Conjurers and liars
Scr*ps of elaborate excuses
And ivory towers

Who's on television?
Not taking any sides
Modern journalism is just a little bit tongue tied

And when 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
Don't let the truth get to you
Don't let the truth get to you
Don't let the truth get to you
