It Doesn't Matter

It doesn't matter if you're a girl or boy

 It doesn't matter if you're hoi polloy

 It doesn't matter if you say your prayers 

 It doesn't matter if you’re billionaires

  It makes no difference if you’re head of state

It makes no difference if you legislate 

It doesn't matter if you fake the news

 It doesn't matter If you break the rules 

Truth is what matters, truth is the key

Truth is the doorway, truth will set you free

Come on my TV telling me all those lies 

 I see their body language, I see it in their eyes

Girl from the north tried to tell us the truth 

 Deniers said she was a deluded youth

 As I grow older I despise authority

 Closer I look the more I see impurity

I wish I was content to sing sweet songs

 But their system is killing us with bullets & bombs

We are all just one big flock

Dancing through time on a giant blue rock 

It doesn't matter if you're old or young

 It doesn't matter if you carry a gun

 It makes no difference if you’re chief of police 

 It makes no difference if your dead on the street

Leadbelly sang about the Bourgeois 

 Back in his day there was no superpower 

What is the point filling the air with lies

We all turn to dust when we lay down and die

Truth is what matters, truth is the key

Truth is the doorway, truth will set you free

Come on my TV telling me all those lies 

 I see their body language, I see it in their eyes

It doesn't matter if you're a girl or boy

 It doesn't matter if you're hoi polloy

 It makes no difference if you’re head of state 

 It makes no difference if you legislate 

 It doesn't matter if you're old or young

 It doesn't matter if you carry a gun

Truth is what matters, truth is the key

Truth is the doorway, truth will set you free
