You're living in the middle of nowhere In a town called Exactly Right. It's got a population of you And everyone sleeps well at night. There's a reason for everything here, Can be explained in ten words or less. The wrong people are never right, And there's no room for questions and mess.
But there's a Lie and there's a Truth, There's something in between: that's me and you. There's a Lie and there's a Truth, There's something in between: that's what we do.
In your perfect world of black and white Where talk about grey is treason, The compromiser is crucified And no quarter is ever given. You make it easy to divide us When you exaggerate the reasons and meanings Until everyone is defined As the righteous and the demons.
But there's a Lie and there's a Truth, There's something in between: that's me and you. There's a Lie and there's a Truth, There's something in between: that's what we do.
