Joe Deninzon - Cognitive Dissonance lyrics

I had a childhood friend Sworn together til the end Playing tag and wrestling Talking about the birds and bees He asks if I believe in God And then I tell him what's my story He says I'm gonna burn in hell Because that's what his parents told him Hatred is taught truth just can't be bought All of our lives We think that we're so wise But It cuts you down size When it's staring in your eyes We're born with open hearts And a blank slate on our souls Old grudges we are forced to bear poison the water & put-up the walls Safely behind our screens Spewing trolling scapegoating No one can touch us now Lets start a fire and burn this whole place to the ground Hatred is taught Truth just can't be bought All of the lies We tell to feel so wise But It cuts you down size When it's staring in your eyes
