about

We don't know what to believe, we don't know who to believe... lying has become the lexicon of the 21st Century. We even lie to ourselves.

lyrics

I went looking for truth and I found lies
Buried deeply in truth's disguise
Buried deeply in truth's disguise
In the 21st Century
Everyone's flaky as fake can be
Everyone's flaky as fake can be.

Wearing kindness's smile
Honesty's vanished without a trace
Stealing honesty's style
Falsehood's taken it's place.

Gliding serenely across the pond
All the geese we perceived as swans
All the geese we perceived as swans.
All my swans have turned into geese
Breaking into my blissful peace
Breaking into my blissful peace.

Wearing kindness's smile
Honesty's vanished without a trace
Stealing honesty's style
Falsehood's taken it's place.

Tell me the words of a truthful song;
How do we drive our lives along?
What's the story of it all anyway?
Do you see us as we see you?
We don't see you the way you do;
Yours is a game we don't know how to play.

Wearing kindness's smile
Honesty's vanished without a trace
Stealing honesty's style
Falsehood's taken it's place.

21st Century blues, 21st Century blues.
