about

The truth is never grieved

lyrics

It was many and many a year ago
When I lived in the centre of a world
That revolved so fast right through my palms
And put paid to all my schemes
And this world complied with a complicitous defiance
Another cenotaph to a fallen regime
I was no longer a child
No longer complied
Or answered when was called
But some man saluted said “Yes you can, lay down your life for me”
”And let the burdens that you’ve hauled fly free like a bird of prey released from its torn jesses”

For the truth is never grieved
It’s just flatter to deceive
In this supposed Land of the Free
And resentment swells inside
Those to whom you have lied
O’er the perilous ramparts of the free

I was billeted, branded and bivouacked
In the centre of the mall
With twilight’s last light gleaming
Refracting through the dawn
I reflected on the rhetoric
The conspiracies and the spin
The wrath, the pearls, of mice and men
And the Disneyland within

When this Nation’s saving grace
Spits it back in your waxen face
You know you will be free
And they’ll swallow it with zeal
Come our Nation’s wow or weal
So that all men can be free
Why can’t all men now be free
