Over the Rhine - Nothing Is Innocent lyrics

We'd wake the dead With voices in our head We've gotten used to ignoring the truth We close our eyes And breathe and eat the lies That tell us we're so much better than you Silence is loud Humility is so proud Nothing is innocent now All the king's men Will serve scrambled eggs again When white-washed walls come crashing down We'll blink and nod And say, How odd And wonder why old friends don't come around Silence is loud Humility is so proud Nothing is innocent now The acid rain We fear the pain Will blister and burn the skin But what is more The fear we bore Will eat us alive from within Silence is loud Humility is so proud Nothing is innocent now For you and me In the land of the free Nothing is innocent now Nothing is innocent now Nothing is innocent now
