Plunkett - The Emperor's New Clothes lyrics

Smoke in the dark makes me ask Why can't I feel it? Or even taste it as I draw it down I cough now and then so perhaps I should believe it Only darkness keeps me down with the dust So I'll try And I'll cry out to all of the others All of the others who ask in the dust here with me now To justify a reason A reason why we just don't all have faith that we breathe it Is darkness the only reason? 'Cos all our coughing should be all we need to believe it But we don't and so we lie still Weak with the strong and strong with the weak Our egos betray love We're like animals starved in our kind Be strong with the strong look after the weak Then we can preach love Only apathy keeps us down with the dust So I'll try And I'll cry out to all of the others All of the others who clasp to the dust here with me now To justify a reason A reason why we just don't all have faith and then prove it Is distraction the only reason? Because our willing is all that we need to break through it But we don't and so we lie still The poor young boy Had nothing to lose Then the others a saw what they knew And they laughed so hard So I'll try And I'll cry out to all of the others All of the others who gasp in the dust here with me now To justify a reason A reason why we just don't all have faith and then brave it Is fear the only reason? Because our willing is all that we need to defy it But we don't and so we lie still The emperor's new clothes Do they blind you?
