Imaginary Fourth Reichs

As the dark pursues the light to gobble it up So do new lies chase old truths to obliterate them In a government that lives on lies their truth will always be suspect Repeating lies over and over to make them true did not work for the 3rd Reich and it won't work for this imaginary 4th Reich Some politicians and their business shills Do not recognize facts as truths as honesty can break beautiful deals Truth shines too bright a light on lies Truth is majestic and outlives falsehoods Falsehoods ultimately cower before truth Lies eventually die from exposure The light of integrity subdues all liars Beware of those who make deals in dark places, Deceit hides in the pall of their schemes Demand transparency and the truth will be revealed! And your reality will never be ephemeral or misleading.
