|
Our idols lay in ruins |
|
We'd have saved them if we could |
|
But we still choose to worship |
|
The places where our idols stood |
|
Still believing |
|
They can save us |
|
I've lived this way |
|
Too long to turn back now |
|
Presuppositions set in stone |
|
This coffin sealed by my own pride |
|
And though it seems the sun will shine |
|
I'll draw the shades and stay inside |
|
If we've learned anything at all |
|
It's that the ghosts of idols |
|
Will do just as well |
|
We all see what we want to anyway, anyway |
|
Some things are better left unsaid |
|
You know what's at stake |
|
Some things are better left unsaid |
|
As long as we keep it in textbooks |
|
Then we'll be untouchable, untouchable |
|
We hate to lie to children |
|
But after all it's all for their own good |
|
For their own good |
