Jackson Reilly may not be real Neither is the story he denied But somebody saw something And somebody is the one who lied
He knows what really happened He’s the keeper of the conspiracy He was there before you arrived He’s the one who made truth a fallacy
What really happened? Did anyone break the law? The facts don’t mean anything If you didn’t see what he saw
He’s a pawn just like you and me Maybe one day he’ll tell us But it won’t change a thing A lie has no cause for justice
Does anyone really care? Everybody knows history is about winners Is this what we teach our children? Yet we tell them not to be sinners
Jackson Reilly is a fiction But that’s where truth goes to die Somebody saw something But somebody was forced to lie
What really happened? Did anyone break the law? The facts don’t mean a thing If you didn’t see what he saw
Is today another day we forget? Are you the person they’re gonna’ deny? Will we ever know the reasons why? Will we know the questions to ask Of a past that told us goodbye? Way back when somebody decided to lie
