lyrics

Truth and beauty lie
underneath the dreaded sky
why did the people lie?

A selected vision of rich invention
an indexed pension forced to recession
an over extension of default tension
a worthless token of words unspoken

Peace and justice rise
Only when there's alibis
Where did the prophet hide?

One man said to me while smilin'
without hope there's no denying
who saw the alibi?
One man said to me while smilin'
truth is gone once its broken
Why did the children cry?
One man said to me while smilin'
faith is gone once its broken
where did the prophet hide?
