White lies & puppets

from The Misinformation Age by Richard Brown

/

about

A song inspired by twitter, fake accounts, fake news and BLM. Ultimately it's meant to be a message of hope. Change is coming and it is perhaps long overdue.

lyrics

your biggest mistake
is the lies you've taken
for granted

you underestimate
the society you hate
and attack

spreading your hate
for fools to inhale
suffocate them, steal their voice

repeating a lie
don't make it right
we see through it, time and again


cos white lies & puppets
won't go changing our minds
the white lies & puppets
the truth takes its time


your strength is illusion
I've seen the confusion
in the ranks

the walls coming down
this illusion won't drown out
the truth

and we make a choice
for hope is the noise
that i'm hearing, in the street

the wall will come down
and history will find out
the evil that kept you in power


cos white lies & puppets
won't go changing our minds
the white lies & puppets
the truth takes its time


see folk on their knees
your insecurities

won't allow you to understand
this is not for one man

this is bigger than you
and the circles you choose

this is about all of us
rising up in disgust

at corruption and hate
and the lives it takes
