lyrics

When the story doesn't fit the talking points
Meticulously honed and masterfully toned
When the victim is defined as perpetrator posthumously found
Scattered across Nangarhar ground
Everybody knows that the rigging is
Impressively distressed
A peremptory burlesque
Everybody knows that the digging has ever been
And shall be
Bottomless
Looking forward never mind the past
For a particular class
No truth or consequence

Don't let the facts get in the way
It's a beautiful day
It’s just like a beautiful day
Don't let the truth get in the way
Of anything you say
A mostly black shade of gray

When the story doesn't fit the talking points
Hang on, man!
So transparent
So trance, so trance, so trance
So transparent
