lyrics

There’s foolish wisdom that seems to abide
In every quarter across the world wide
Straw is not gold, and piss is not wine
Though many will tell you that they are, all the time
To look with eyes shut is not viewed a crime

Water is dry they say, heat it is cold
And if you argue, you better be bold
Up is not down, and clean is not grime
Though many will tell you that they are, all the time
To think with minds closed is not viewed a crime

Greed it is noble and caring is weak
The princes of power, that’s how they speak
A trump’s not a trumpet, debased’s not divine
Though many will tell you that they are, all the time
To give with hands closed is not viewed a crime

Plunder for profit, with no sense of shame
Add mock contrition, to oil the game
Control is not freedom, besmirched is not shine
Though many will tell you that they are, all the time
To live with life closed is not viewed a crime
