lyrics
There's only one truth and everyone has
delusions at different levels of insanity
knowledge is forever expanding
every piece of it brings more questions than it answers
so the spirit of wisdom is
constantly increasing awareness of your ignorance
beware of all the simpletons
pretending that the answers are here and that they're infinite
everything doesn't need to be balanced
not all ideas are equally valid
if you want to speak you're allowed to
but then I get the freedom to critique and to challenge
truth don't hold an allegiance
you've got nowhere to run
doesn't matter what you believe in
you've got nowhere to run
nowhere to run
ideas are bigger than the people that have them
people are bigger than beliefs they imagine
disagree but you can not demonize
all of me cause we don't see exactly
eye to eye,
these hypocrites don't have to go tip-toe
why do I?
don't have to respect your beliefs
if it does harm then expect me to speak
shouldn't let it get in between
my respect for you cause they're separate things
your beliefs you're entitled to
but when they feed your actions the line gets moved
cause it happens in my world too
and that virus of the mind stays alive through you
and those ideas feed the soil
that we grow in so then the seeds get spoiled
cause if you tolerate disease you can plant a million trees
but the weeds destroy them
if you have a thought, defend it
no one has the right not to be offended
(hook)
know I, know I know I
gotta face whatever comes
may not like it, got to get by it,
got nowhere to run (nowhere to run)
don't hide, don't, don't hide, it'll get you before you're done
the truth has ways to find you any place
you've got nowhere to run (nowhere to run)
na na na na na nowhere
na na na na na nowhere
na na na na na nowhere
nowhere to run
religious moderates are the first to blame
the fundamentalists for all the murder and hate
call their books holy and interpret away
the words on the page to make them worthy of praise
in that search to relate
you're providing cover for the very worst of your faith
whatever you end up believing
suspending your reason has a burden to pay
tribalism is in our nature
reinforced by a simple danger
the history of victimization
defines self-image of religion and races
the more you try to level the pavement
the more difficult it is to ever escape it
driven by guilt or pain
the problems rebuild with a different name
ideas are the DNA
of social evolution, the seeds of change
we're genes that will be replaced
mutation is now survival
(hook)
know I, know I know I
gotta face whatever comes
may not like it, got to get by it,
got nowhere to run (nowhere to run)
don't hide, don't, don't hide, it'll get you before you're done
the truth has ways to find you any place
you've got nowhere to run (nowhere to run)
na na na na na nowhere
na na na na na nowhere
na na na na na nowhere
nowhere to run
na na na na na nowhere
na na na na na nowhere
na na na na na nowhere
