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]
