Truth and Lies

Cover your eyes
cover your ears
cover your mouth
cover your tears
but covering-up is far from healthy
Cover-ups have left scars on our body

Cover your butt
Cover-up files
Cover-up cheating
Cover-up’s what violent people do
The opposite is pleasing others
Covering-up is one of the biggest problems in this country
Run from all of the competition (if you still can)
into the champion’s arms

Covering-up your love
Hush-money and suddenly, most have nothing to say
Cover-up is what control-freaks do best
Strong-arm the weak
Cover-up is what they call it
Cover-up’s cousins are policies, glossed over, and sweep it under the carpet or rug
Cover-up’s not just for politicians

Cover-up the facts
Cover all bases
Shutting off the Internet because the light is so great
Cover your faces
Cover-up is what not what we call it
Covering-up the conversations about God
Cover-up is one of the worst problems we’ve got; talk freely
Cover-up is one of the biggest problems in this country
Run from all of the competition (you understand)
into the champion’s arms

There’s a major disconnect
and there’s an abyss between us
It’s the places walked
and the ways we talk
and the ways we act
it’s a lousy fact
that we’re incredibly lazy
(though we were never real able)
yet we’ve neglected the savior
when we’re supposed to be neighbors
but we’re not, because
cover-up is like a disease

Covered-up inconvenience
Covered-up vital knowledge so what would you know?
Cover-up and get cut off: you reap what you sow
Cover-up’s taught in college… How low can you go?
Cover-up, they teach you, like another skill

Uncover your eyes and ears
cover-up causes fear
Cover-up is lying and cheating yourself
Cover-up the news
Cover-up is the opposite of honesty, integrity, and bravery
Cover-up is one way of getting knocked out early
Run from all of the competition (that’s your best plan)
into the champion’s arms                                                                                                                Into his camp, safe from harm
