We are here we are here The six fields of hypocrisy changed the outlook of democracy Call me a lost cause but I’m the hope of a nation that prides itself on miscommunication It’s not so hard to start a conversation when you’re next to second best And it’s not a bad reputation to be a self righteous mess It’s a raging war on the politics of it all, if we’re all sinners then shouldn’t we all fall? Keep your colors behind your eyelids and keep your lungs above your shoulders Tell me to move boulders but you can’t even pick up the first stone to throw And you call it the freedom of protest                           Well I call it the freedom of detest and the sign of words too cruel to digest But please your majesty, let’s avoid a travesty And next time you call me a dent in your list of victories I’d like to hear your sparkly clean history And we’ll make a full loop back to hypocrisy.

We are here we are here The six fields of hypocrisy changed the outlook of democracy Call me a lost cause but I’m the hope of a nation that prides itself on miscommunication It’s not so hard to start a conversation when you’re next to second best And it’s not a bad reputation to be a self righteous mess It’s a raging war on the politics of it all, if we’re all sinners then shouldn’t we all fall? Keep your colors behind your eyelids and keep your lungs above your shoulders Tell me to move boulders but you can’t even pick up the first stone to throw And you call it the freedom of protest                           Well I call it the freedom of detest and the sign of words too cruel to digest But please your majesty, let’s avoid a travesty And next time you call me a dent in your list of victories I’d like to hear your sparkly clean history And we’ll make a full loop back to hypocrisy.
