[Chorus]

When you see it

Will you call it what it is?

When they tell you who they are

Will you call them by their name?

[Verse 1]

An ancient falsehood

Passed down through the ages

“Our hands are tied

It’s all very complicated”

While spreading their sermons

In the half-truth of twilight

They receive salvation

And you are the sacrifice

[Refrain]

They say the structure can change

But their foundation remains the same

Prostrate at capitals alter

Same dogma, new reformation

One more white lie

[Chorus]

When you see it

Will you call it what it is?

When they tell you who they are

Will you call them by their name?

When they tell you not to struggle

Will you cower like a serf?

And when their stories don’t add up

Will you take them at their word?

[Verse 2]

Or worse yet, will you defend them?

Will you apologize and become the vessel

For all their white lies?

For all their white lies?

For all their white lies?

For all their white lies?

[Refrain]

They say the structure can change

But their foundation remains the same

Prostrate at capitals alter

Same dogma, new reformation

One more white lie

[Verse 3]

Dishonest sermons sung from moral vacuums

Spreading the word of an ancient falsehood

To avoid any conflict, will you defend them?

And apologize and become the vessel

For all their white lies?

For all their white lies?

For all their white lies?

For all their white lies?
