Gonna take more eyes than the eyes that you have in your head
To see whats happening gonna take more teeth
Than those in your mouth to chew it all down
Gonna take more brains than the brains that you have in your skull
To find the answers cause these days information stinks
Theres enough lies here to fool the Sphinx

The newest version of the oldest trick
Its been working since they wrote that book
And you say that it makes you sick
But not before that it made you look

Gonna take more words than the words that can roll off your tongue
To express that there is a way better than this to be free
Gonna take more hands than the hands that grow on your arms
To chip away the tired veneer
Its thick as a myth
You dont know what youre messing with

Chorus

Well, it started so long ago with
Just a few rich men they
Had to protect what they had, what they had but the
Problem with freedom is
Everyone wants some and
If all are equal than the poor might get mad
So they found enemies, built up mythologies
To keep the people from snooping around
It worked so well we can no longer tell
Where the truth turns to rust who to kill who to trust

Chorus
