Truth Is Dead
Traditional
Hey, truth is dead, it's been laid to rest
They buried it late last night right alongside common sense
You can't say anything anymore without consequence
So button it up and get your ass back on the fence.
Don't dare take a stance on one side or the other
Or the hammer will come down on you like a mother fucker
Civility, reasonable thinking, free speech
Well, these days it seems as though they're just out of reach.
They've been replaced with politically correct
And it don't seem to matter much who we elect
You can vote down the middle, vote for left side, vote for the right
Say something they don't agree with and you better run for your life.
Because they'll cut you down, run you out of town
So just keep your mouth shut, don't make a sound
Don't talk about how you feel, don't say what's on your mind
Or they'll hunt you down like a dog and they bury you alive.
Yeah, truth is dead, it's been laid to rest
They buried it late last night right alongside common sense
No, you can't say anything anymore without consequence.
Truth is dead.
Yeah, truth is dead along with common sense
All we're left with now is politically correct
Truth is dead along along with common sense
Truth is dead.
Hey darling, you wanna dance?
Hey, truth is dead, it's been laid to rest
They buried it late last night right alongside common sense
You can't say anything anymore without consequence
So button it up and get your ass back on the fence.
Don't dare take a stance on one side or the other
Or the hammer will come down on you like a mother fucker
Civility, reasonable thinking, free speech
Well, these days it seems as though they're just out of reach.
They've been replaced with politically correct
And it don't seem to matter much who we elect
You can vote down the middle, vote for left side, vote for the right
Say something they don't agree with and you better run for your life.
Because they'll cut you down, run you out of town
So just keep your mouth shut, don't make a sound
Don't talk about how you feel, don't say what's on your mind
Or they'll hunt you down like a dog and they bury you alive.
Yeah, truth is dead, it's been laid to rest
They buried it late last night right alongside common sense
No, you can't say anything anymore without consequence.
Truth is dead.
Yeah, truth is dead along with common sense
All we're left with now is politically correct
Truth is dead along along with common sense
Truth is dead.
Hey darling, you wanna dance?
