True Stories

listen

A young man told me he wants to be a politician

And so he'd better stay away from such things as human rights

As they may come back to haunt him

When he's working for the people later in life

Unlikely places leveled to the ground

At first we're told it didn't happen and then maybe it did

But it must have been an accident or self-defence

Or better yet, they just did it themselves

Chorus:

Where does it stop and where is the line drawn

Shouldn't it be easy to tell what rights from wrong

Should've figured it out by now, no time to be naïve

Isn't it obvious who's spinning the web and who we can believe

There's two soldiers in prison they're both locked up for a year

One punished for torturing people and the other because he refused

To commit the same crime

He's a true war hero and hero and he's serving time

Chorus:

Where does it stop and where is the line drawn

Shouldn't it be easy to tell what rights from wrong

Should've figured it out by now, no time to be naïve

Aren't we responsible for things we choose not to see

How did the freedom to speak turn into the freedom to lie

And when the truth comes out why are the people denied

Well it's too disturbing they say, we're just better off blind

We can't have the truth corrupting our minds.

Chorus:

Where does it stop and where is the line drawn

Shouldn't it be easy to tell what rights from wrong

Should've figured it out by now, no time to be naïve

With all these true stories to question our beliefs
