Non-Prophet - Something To Prove lyrics

rate me

I can’t believe our history-there’s so much left out, I’ll never see

The space between the lines is where the rest is seen

What’s fact or fantasy? The answers can be troubling indeed

There are things I’ll never understand

Like how can we stand by and do nothing to change these books

What are we teaching?

If I told you everything you’ve ever learned was just a lie

Would you even listen?

And if I told you everything could change, its up to us

Would you even care?

I never knew how far we’ll go to take, and take, and take, and take some more

And then we cover it all up so no one knows the truth

And then we feed it to our youth

I just can’t take it anymore

There are things I’ll never understand

Like how can we stand by and do nothing to change these books

What are we teaching?

If I told you everything you’ve ever learned was just a lie

Would you even listen?

And if I told you everything could change, its up to us

Would you even care?

Words of inspiration are written by a team

Pre-packaged ways of thinking for you and me to choose between

So can you tell me what exactly you believe?

So do you believe the words that you’re reading

And is the truth hidden so well that you can’t see

Or is the language shaping your reality
