Truth is not in your constitution

Turn your back on the human condition

You can't waterboard a social relationship

You can't disappear this many witnesses

You're running out of level heads to put prices on

They're running out of whistles to blow

When it spills into daylight // and burns through the night

Remember your alibi of 'progress and freedom'

As you shoot the messenger dead

So why stop now? I've been negotiating with terrorists

Since the day I was born

& when I cower in silence those animals win

The heroes you celebrate // all dissidents in their time

But show me the man and I'll show you the crime
