The Myth of Solid Ground

Verse 1
Whom you trust depends on what colour you see
Red truth, blue truth - it's not up to me
Speaking truth to power is rather subjective
Statements of beliefs are rarely objective
The war on terror is being waged
The battle for freedom seems to be unwinnable
Those who follow what they are told represent two sides
They assert their own versions of reality
Even if it's based on lies

Verse 2
Your saviour is somebody's zealot
Tailoring your views is not the same as being well-informed
Pick a camp if you want to fight
With others similar to you
If you don't, you'll have to fight alone
Meaning you will surely lose
Your leeriness may reveal you're a coward
But if you stand tall with a forceful attitude
You may be brave

Bridge
We're living in a free-for-all
Every matter is either true or false
Uncertainty is uncomfortable
But you will have to choose between red and blue
Those who you can count on will be fellow believers
Now is the time to place your vote
Or you will be left behind

Chorus
The myth of solid ground
We're sinking deeper into a quagmire
The myth of solid ground
Sand is the only thing we walk on
The myth of solid ground
Is not as far fetched as one may think
The myth of solid ground
Illusions are the current state of mind
