Actual Factual

You can’t see things, as they happen
There’s no way you have it all figured out
It’s a crime to be so pedantic
You cut your ties when you pick apart our lives
Actual, factual is the mantra that you shout
You need something certain, it’s something you can’t live without
Take away the hardened facts and watch your life as it collapses
We don’t need this, we need flexibility
Count the flaws in your convictions
Put on a show but you’re barely hanging on
It’s so reckless to be rigid
You’re unhappy and now the rest of us must pay
Your catalog of genuine complaints
Reveals how just far you’re out of touch
Although you never really stop and think
We count on you to always think too much
Actual, factual is the mantra that you shout
You need something certain, it’s something you can’t live without
Take away the hardened facts and watch your life as it collapses
We don’t need this, we need flexibility
