lyrics

You can’t trust the poets, yeah they’re liars by nature, gone dream-drunk or willfully blind. You can’t trust the pharmacist anymore, he’s so well prescribed he’s out flying his kite. And the mayor of the town is out paying the weatherman to say that it’s been sunny for four years. Now everyone’s waiting for pay day. That's how we began and that's how we'll end.
The age of information opened its mouth wide. The faded out brain climbed on gentle inside. The world rotates faster than heaven was high, but it will not revolve.
You can’t trust the gravedigger. Yeah, the market’s too good for your rings. And folks in slower in recessions, it’s true. Now you can’t trust the mail, not in rain nor in hail, and it goes without saying that you can’t trust the news. And when you can’t trust the army not to pose with dead bodies like dolls, I suppose you can’t trust them at all. And you can’t shake the feeling, the party left reeling, and we showed up too late for the booze.
The age of information opened its mouth wide. The faded out brain climbed on gentle inside, and said Hallelujah let’s go for a ride, but it don’t move at all.
You can’t even trust your mother: they say in the years she’s got left now she wants something back that you took from her youth. And you can’t trust the mythmaker living in a soundstage, they say that a man never stood on the moon. And you can’t trust the farmer not for tainting your food with a science he don’t know that he’s selling to you. And you can’t trust me neither. There ain’t a folksinger who’s telling the truth.
The age of information opened its mouth wide. The faded out brain climbed on gentle inside, and said hallelujah let’s go for a ride, but it don’t move at all.
