Desirable Truth

The old facts lie, the old truth dies Everything needs update The new facts open our eyes Revisionism is great New lemming-minded must observe This harsh reality The world we thouroughly deserve Our ancestors couldn’t see So after cleaning it looks fine This good old brave new world Its pharisees and philistines Its glorified absurd What’s new, looks old, and in reverse Its all the same, my dear The truth enacts with inner source Of deepest secret fear In order to avoid the bad Consequences we see We drink more wine, and eat less bread Watching the tides at sea.
