Contradictions
Saints and sinners
Losers and winners
Fireworks in the night
Delight and fright
Can both be right?
Do we have to choose?
Dragons and snakes
Bombs and earthquakes
Perfume and tear gas
Weeds in the grass
We can't pick what to see
Life full of contradictions, from day to night
No certainties to tie to; darkness, blinding light
What's true or false? Nothing we read can be believed
Manipulations all around; we're all being deceived
Mind confused, by swirling views
Thoughts abused, beliefs bruised
Truth and fiction, all spoken with conviction
Life's contradictions
Beliefs and lies
Laughter and cries
Passionate dance
Break up or romance
Can both be right?
Do we have to choose?
Age and youth
Faith or gospel truth
Disgust or sex appeal
Nightmare or real
We can't pick what to see
Life full of contradictions, from day to night
No certainties to tie to; darkness, blinding light
What's true or false? Nothing we read can be believed
Manipulations all around; we're all being deceived
Mind confused, by swirling views
Thoughts abused, beliefs bruised
Truth and fiction, all spoken with conviction
Life's contradictions
Friend or foe
Agree or oppose
Defend, attack
Take or give back
Can both be right?
Do we have to choose?
Round and round
Lost or found
Work or play
Delight and dismay
We can't pick what to see
Life full of contradictions, from day to night
No certainties to tie to; darkness, blinding light
What's true or false? Nothing we read can be believed
Manipulations all around; we're all being deceived
Mind confused, by swirling views
Thoughts abused, beliefs bruised
Truth and fiction, all spoken with conviction
Life's contradictions
Losers and winners
Fireworks in the night
Delight and fright
Can both be right?
Do we have to choose?
Dragons and snakes
Bombs and earthquakes
Perfume and tear gas
Weeds in the grass
We can't pick what to see
Life full of contradictions, from day to night
No certainties to tie to; darkness, blinding light
What's true or false? Nothing we read can be believed
Manipulations all around; we're all being deceived
Mind confused, by swirling views
Thoughts abused, beliefs bruised
Truth and fiction, all spoken with conviction
Life's contradictions
Beliefs and lies

Truth and fiction, all spoken with conviction
Life's contradictions
