Better to Know Lyrics
I saw my revolution sold to a priest
I saw the men of reason bow down to the east
And oh, it's better to know
Oh, it's better to know.
The truth can make you bitter
Even while it sets you free
The truth's a hauting daunting mistress
She ain't been good to me
And oh, it's better to know
Oh, it's better to know.
Despite all the fools and liars
Despite all of the wars
The puruit of liberty is
Still a noble cause
And oh, it's better to know
Oh, I swear it's better to know.
All the forces of distortion
All the pretty words you said
The elephant in your living room
The fascist in your bed
And oh, it's better to know
Oh, I swear it's better to know.
Even though we're so alone
For so long
We've been so alone
For so long
I saw the men of reason bow down to the east
Oh, it's better to know.
Even while it sets you free
The truth's a hauting daunting mistress
She ain't been good to me
Oh, it's better to know.
Despite all of the wars
The puruit of liberty is
Still a noble cause
Oh, I swear it's better to know.
All the pretty words you said
The elephant in your living room
The fascist in your bed
Oh, I swear it's better to know.
Even though we're so alone
For so long
We've been so alone
For so long

Although I don't like the song, the lyrics are great, it's what I think: It's better to know the truth than stay ignorant, even if ignorance, like religion, might be cozier.
I agree, although I DO LIKE THE SONG VERY MUCH.
