[Verse 1]

Take stock of the situation

Assess the complications

That arise from our half truths

The stage in this case

Is just a tool to make it possible

For you to justify your blighted worldview

[Chorus]

I've got an answer

If we don't need it, we don't take it now

The solution is

If we don't need it, we don't take it at all

[Verse 2]

The scam's transparency is we get older

And we feel like we are missing something

We wonder why our plans don't work

When we won't take a stand

We slink away like frightened rats

Guess what?

[Chorus]

I've got an answer

If we don't need it, we don't take it now

The solution is

If we don't need it, we don't take it at all

[Outro]

We want to build a perfect world somehow

But the exciting prizes just out of our reach have slowed us down
