The Healing Truth

Every steak has its take

Every beer has its tear

Daisy cutters harvesting lives

The daily news says we’re all fine

Yeah, we are all fine …

T.V. preachers selling salvation

Kids in the corner buying fake sensations

I thought I just heard a girl screaming

I thought I just saw a man cry

I’m tired of playing innocent

When the real innocent has to pay

I’m just tired of pretending everything is all right

Just pull off this blindfold from over my eyes

‘Cause I want to see the truth

‘Cause I want to face the truth

The whole, naked truth

Dangerous thoughts implanted in brains

Raped innocence on the dunes of sand

The boys on the hill shaking dirty hands

Flag draped coffins in the pouring rain

There is a girl down on the floor screaming

There is a man on his knees crying in vain

I’m tired of playing innocent

When the real innocent has to pay

I’m just tired of pretending everything is all right

Just pull off this blindfold from over my eyes

‘Cause I want to see the truth

‘Cause I want to face the truth

The whole, naked truth

There is a girl in the spotlight singing

There is a man waving from the hill

There is a nation that just started seeing

There is a world ready to be healed ….
