The Lie / The Truth

You’re living in the middle of nowhere
In a town called Exactly Right
It’s got a population of you
And everyone sleeps well at night
There’s a reason for everything here
Can be explained in ten words or less
The wrong people are never right
And there’s no room for questions or mess
But there’s the lie, and there’s the truth
There’s something in between, that’s me and you
There’s the lie, and there’s the truth
And something in between, that’s what we do
There’s the lie, and there’s the truth
There’s something in between, that’s me and you
There’s the lie, and there’s the truth
There’s something in between, that’s what we do
In your perfect world of black and white
Where talk about grey is treason
The compromiser is crucified
And no quarter is ever given
You make it easy to divide us
When you exaggerate the reasons and meanings
Until everyone is defined
As the righteous and the demons
