COME UP WITH A TRUTH
[Refrain]
Come up with a truth that's not twisted and turned
With a valid memory
Come up with a truth that's in sync with sanity
I don't care what you make believe
There's truth in your heart, let it go to your head
And yes, it's gonna make you look bad
Come up with a truth
Come up with a truth
Come up with a truth, yeah…
Do you lie about every shit
Just for the fun of it
Guess you get off on it
Are you believing it
Every little bit
Or just hope we're buying it
Family sundering, police bludgeoning
Mobster pardoning
Brainwashing, spying, dividing
Fear mongering
Cant you see your lies will rip this world apart
Or don't you care cause there's a shithole
Where once was your heart?
[Refrain]
Come up with a truth that's not twisted and turned
With a valid memory
Come up with a truth that's in sync with sanity
I don't care what you make believe
There's truth in your heart, let it go to your head
And yes, it's gonna make you look bad
Come up with a truth
Come up with a truth
Come up with a truth, yeah…
White supremacy, fascist sympathy
Your new plutocracy
Immigration policy, gross adultery
The end of democracy
You've been loophole trying, law defying
Lies implying
You lied 'bout children crying
People dying
All others lying
Who are the silent voices pulling your strings?
Who will take advantage
Of what your new world order brings?
[Refrain]
Come up with a truth that's not twisted and turned
With a valid memory
Come up with a truth that's in sync with sanity
I don't care what you make believe
There's truth in your heart, let it go to your head
And yes, it's gonna make you look bad
Come up with a truth
Come up with a truth
Come up with a truth, yeah…
Dingdong truth is dead
What have we got instead?
The crazy priest of tweets
Some who don't know a thing need to believe in him
And share in his fantasies
True fact is heresy, it's all a conspiracy
Who cares about history?
Violence and jealousy
Rising from the foulness of suppressed sexuality
Guess your tapestry of lies will not unfurl
Since there'll be no one left
To call our doom the fake end of the world
[Refrain]
Come up with a truth that's not twisted and turned
With a valid memory
Come up with a truth that's in sync with sanity
I don't care what you make believe
There's truth in your heart, let it go to your head
And yes, it's gonna make you look bad
Come up with a truth
Come up with a truth
Come up with a truth, yeah…

This song was inspired by the 45th President of the United States of America.
But it fits any authoritarian, post-fact regime in the world.
