[Verse 1]
Did you fall pray to
Attribute value
A common sense betray
Believe enriched by
Object material
More one accumulate
More will satiate?
[Verse 2]
Did you invest in
Accept unquestioned
Run ev'ry thing as business?
Targets and quotas
Improve society?
Measure the measurable
Indicator key?
[Chorus]
You better make sure your truth is true
You better make sure your truth is true
[Verse 3]
Did you jump into
Reason surrender
Promote to absolute
One true religion?
Justify merciful
Impose blinker vision
In name of saving souls?
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Did they embrace it
Improperganda?
Did they buy into lie
Communist evil
Then reason rational
Invasion Vietnam
In name of liberate?
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental + Spoken word]
On the back of believing something true may well flow all manner of reasonable, logical, rational and considered actions. But if that truth later turns out to be false, the whole endeavour is reduced to nonsense. Therefore we better make sure our truth is true.
[Verse 5]
Did I identify
I as my body
Mine as my kith and kin?
Others as Other
No sister brother
Across species divide
Forget to open eyes?
[Repeat Chorus]

If You Were God

Some people preach fact cannot
Have it all your own way
Everyone must compromise some
If desire to progress

If to ever climb the ladder

But depends who you think you are
You believe how much remain divine
After all if you were God no restriction

Better off resign is your lot
Whatever scrap fall on your lap

Some people assert given
Just a place to suffer
Birth old age disease death prison
Fallen soul samsara

So/and if you see me

How failure necessary evil for success
Relation isolation precedes connection
My mistake precursor perfection
[Repeat Chorus] bass on Em

Philosophise this somehow must serve me

Truth absolute perpetuate
Self deceive pretend is known only belief?
