We All Seek the Truth

Ninth song from the album 1985.

Lyrics
I'll go at it alone and make the truth my own Just save the pain of ever saying my name We're paying them to preach Their own philosophies and never bother to establish our own I'd rather sleep tonight beneath this liquid floor Than breathe your shallow dreams and want something more

They twist reality to make their own beliefs And then expect us just to follow along We read into their lies with sympathetic cries How could we ever really make it alone We hide inside our homes and act like we're out saving souls Cause we're damned if we do and we're damned if we'd don't

Just let your voice be heard And let your words speak truth (All of these lies will start all these fires) Inside of our hearts

It's truth if you believe their objectivity They didn't leave any room for the right So trade your agency to gain a sense of peace And let them lead you off into the night We hide inside our homes and act like we're out saving souls Cause we're damned if we do and we're damned if we'd don't

Just let their words spark fire in our minds (Complacency and ignorance will flee tonight) From all of our lives

I can't wait to watch you burn I can't wait to watch you burn I can't wait to watch you burn I can't wait to watch you burn

I've got a feeling I've got a feeling something's wrong The clouds are lined in silver lies and gold I've got a feeling I've got a feeling something's wrong tonight
