Cruel To Be
Cruel to be
Ignored, discarded
Our indignation
It just isn't cutting through
Void of empathy
Villainisation
If you endeavour to present the truth
Now every time we see the news
We concede our sight
To distorted views
Whenever we indulge these games
We always land on snakes
See the goalposts move
We all
Know something that other people don't
So
Be kind, but draw a line
Shatter the gaslight
Open the blinds
Dissent be damned
Cast out for being rude
Grown so weary from exasperation
Can only do what I can do
Funnelled churnalist misinformation
Rejection of objective truth
Like knives, we hold
Our silence to each other's throats
Surprise! The sheep are dead, and look!
The wolves took all their clothes
Biting our tongues, numb to the everyday chicanery
Attack, someone bites back and that's your takeaway?
"Be kind" all you like
But does it nullify their cruel
Barbaric policies?
We all
Know something that other people don't
So
Be kind, but draw a line
Being nice is nice but doesn't make it right
(Draw the line)
Civil, not civilised
Draw the line
Drive these swine
To answer for their crimes
Draw
The
Line
Now
We all
Know something that other people don't
So
Be kind, but draw a line
With all the understanding in the world
We'll find
Some people must be cruel to be
Alive
Ignored, discarded
Our indignation
It just isn't cutting through
Void of empathy
Villainisation
If you endeavour to present the truth
Now every time we see the news
We concede our sight
To distorted views
Whenever we indulge these games
We always land on snakes
See the goalposts move
We all
Know something that other people don't
So
Be kind, but draw a line
Shatter the gaslight
Open the blinds
Dissent be damned
Cast out for being rude
Grown so weary from exasperation
Can only do what I can do
Funnelled churnalist misinformation
Rejection of objective truth
Like knives, we hold
Our silence to each other's throats
Surprise! The sheep are dead, and look!
The wolves took all their clothes
Biting our tongues, numb to the everyday chicanery
Attack, someone bites back and that's your takeaway?
"Be kind" all you like
But does it nullify their cruel
Barbaric policies?
We all
Know something that other people don't

Draw
The
Line
Now
We all
Know something that other people don't
So
Be kind, but draw a line
With all the understanding in the world
We'll find
Some people must be cruel to be
Alive
