about

How can you tell a politician is lying? His lips move. This is a progressive rock epic with a lot of guitar riffs.

lyrics

We live in a land caught up in red and blue
Each side claims to know what's best for me and you
Each side claims to be more moral, true and just
Neither being the one that we can truly trust.

Claims are made that seem to justify the cause
Listen closely and you'll hear the blah-blah-blahs
Words are chosen discreetly, hiding all the lies
We'll be better off when this we realize.

Left and right, a constant fight, with people choosing sides
Fooled and then, again and again, we're taken for a ride
Do you side with either side, thinking it's the way?
Both are wrong, they're both as strong as iron that is mixed with clay.

It is dangerous to be snared by left or right
Even middle ground's as bad as either side
Some may seem sincere, they want to do what is right
Even if that's true, they're still part of the night.

Have you seen a man who's clean? There are none to be found
The people cry, his mouth it lies, when he utters a sound
If you're sure that he is pure, then you too have been misled
All the spin is seen within the propaganda that we've been fed.

(instrumental)

Many aren't aware it truly is a game
Though they may seem different, they're really just the same
Each side pointing the finger, blaming for the mess
Hypocritical shouting will not bring happiness.

Politics, like "pick up sticks", is just a house of cards
The systems heart will fall apart, breaking into shards
So don't get caught, it's wisdom not, to side with either side
I don't care what hat they wear, from destruction they cannot hide.
