Hearsay

You know it really is a great tale But I have to speak in code, or you'll take this as hate mail And on the chance my debate fails Quick as I came, I'll be looking for the quickest escape trail The safe trail's the quickest in sight, but If I step on nobody's toes I must not be doing my job right It's not about me thinking that I'm right It's about a generation that lost motivation to fight So who can tell me where the fire went? Take me to your leader, would she even know where you start and I end? She's talking funny and she's coming on strong Moses help me, how do I free a people with a song? Just let the band play It's all hearsay Just let the band play It's all hearsay You know it really is a great shame That we choose to bow our heads to the smokescreens and fake names And euphemistic campaigns And I don't know about you, but, we came here to break chains So there'll be no polite fiction tonight 'Cause if I walk where everyone goes I will not be happy in hindsight It's not about me thinking that I'm right We're just trying to build a nation and make them ready to fight So while you think about this Pay a little mind to the things that you're doing with your lips No strings, just seeing if it fits Prove to me world peace is more than a vague wish, go Just let the band play It's all hearsay Just let the band play It's all hearsay Just let the band play It's all hearsay Just let the band play It's all hearsay Feed the hoax with keyboard strokes and holidays Cigarettes and Kanye West and cabernet I'm puzzled by the pride I find upon your faces Activist with benefits, I call your name Feed the hoax with keyboard strokes and holidays Cigarettes and Kanye West and cabernet I'm puzzled by the pride I find upon your faces Activist with benefits, I call your name (You know, it really is a great tale) Feed the hoax with keyboard strokes and holidays Cigarettes and Kanye West and cabernet I'm puzzled by the pride I find upon your faces Activist with benefits, I call your name Feed the hoax with keyboard strokes and holidays Cigarettes and Kanye West and cabernet I'm puzzled by the pride I find upon your faces Activist with benefits It's all hearsay It's all hearsay It's all hearsay It's all hearsay
