The Lie / The Truth

You're living in the middle of nowhere
In a town called Exactly Right.
It's got a population of you
And everyone sleeps well at night.
There's a reason for everything here,
Can be explained in ten words or less.
The wrong people are never right,
And there's no room for questions and mess.

But there's a Lie and there's a Truth,
There's something in between: that's me and you.
There's a Lie and there's a Truth,
There's something in between: that's what we do.

In your perfect world of black and white
Where talk about grey is treason,
The compromiser is crucified
And no quarter is ever given.
You make it easy to divide us
When you exaggerate the reasons and meanings
Until everyone is defined
As the righteous and the demons.

But there's a Lie and there's a Truth,
There's something in between: that's me and you.
There's a Lie and there's a Truth,
There's something in between: that's what we do.
