Morning Glory Say Something True Lyrics

You can't try the heart in the courts of men
If lust for life is quiet, then guilty I am
Send me off to the gallows old
She is faithful, the day is cold

Like those before, I'll walk the plank
I'll get shot up
Like those before
Feet on the door; open it up

Try and say something true
History smiles upon the few
Free thinking liberality
Has no place in society

I've been sentenced under laws of the king
A man I've never met and he knows not me
If treason charge, then treason be
If treason is the will to be free

Watch what you say
White leaders pray we do not stray
Like M.L.K., like Kennedy
They watch Chomsky

Is it any wonder why We're obsessed with suicide?
Stuck in the garden of mass appeal
Ever fasting for something real
Is it any wonder why
We're obsessed with suicide?
Stuck in the garden of mass appeal
Ever fasting for something real

Say something true

(I have a dream
To fight against their anger)

Watch what you say
White leaders pray we do not stray
And if you do, the bullet's cue
Is taken from truth

Try and say something true
History smiles upon the few
Free thinking liberality
Has no place in society

Frown upon the gifted one
Intellect is no match for guns
From the poison well we drink
Blood's on the pages of history's ink
