I used to think you were a harmless fool
Drinking what the men in the ties tell you
So eager to give back the pennies they paid you
To buy up the lies they’re dying to sell you

But dogs will sell out cats whenever they’re able
If they think that they’ll get more scraps from the table
White sheets at worst
Indifference at best 
School’s been out forever
But you failed the test

Compassion is an elephant that drags us across the cold hard ground
Forgiveness is irrelevant when we’re locked in a house and it’s burning down

Everyone blames the liars
But I want answers from the believers
You could have looked a little harder for the truth
But why bother when the lies are just so convenient 

Sometimes the lesser evil
Is still pretty evil in the end
When you leaned down to kiss the boot on my neck
You whispered in my ear “why can’t we still be friends?”

Compassion is an elephant that drags us across the cold hard ground
Forgiveness is irrelevant when we’re locked in a house and it’s burning down

You told us that you spoke to God
And we believed you
You said he said you were the chosen ones
And we believed you
You told us that the air isn’t free
and we believed you
You say this is the way it has to be 
Well we, well we don’t believe you

Compassion is an elephant that drags me across the cold hard ground
Forgiveness is irrelevant when we’re locked in a house and it’s burning down
