The illusion of changing minds
«Be a positive light. Don’t be a sheep. Don’t be blind.»
But the taste of metal and a shock to the lips
Brings on a sudden shift
To blanket statements and quotes from the usual script
(Reparations)
We thought we’d opened our minds
(We're making payments)
The blame has just changed sides
(Reparations)
This is not so black-and-white
(We're making payments)
There’s no wrong, there’s no right
(Reparations)
We thought we’d opened our minds
(We're making payments)
The blame has just changed sides
(Reparations)
This is not so black-and-white
(We're making payments)
There’s no wrong, there’s no right
Hide behind an attempt to offend. Advocate of a trend
So take a second thought before the signal goes out
Cause the cliches of the pen have made a liar of the mouth
Ideas based upon slogans and catchphrases
Building collections of worn out statements
Oh, will we ever be more than mice in mazes or will we always be making
payments for reparations?
