New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Truth Is Dead lyrics

Traditional Hey, truth is dead, it's been laid to rest They buried it late last night right alongside common sense You can't say anything anymore without consequence So bu*ton it up and get your a** back on the fence. Don't dare take a stance on one side or the other Or the hammer will come down on you like a mother f**er Civility, reasonable thinking, free speech Well, these days it seems as though they're just out of reach. They've been replaced with politically correct And it don't seem to matter much who we elect You can vote down the middle, vote for left side, vote for the right Say something they don't agree with and you better run for your life. Because they'll cut you down, run you out of town So just keep your mouth shut, don't make a sound Don't talk about how you feel, don't say what's on your mind Or they'll hunt you down like a dog and they bury you alive. Yeah, truth is dead, it's been laid to rest They buried it late last night right alongside common sense No, you can't say anything anymore without consequence. Truth is dead. Yeah, truth is dead along with common sense All we're left with now is politically correct Truth is dead along along with common sense Truth is dead. Hey darling, you wanna dance?
