Barry Lawton - 2and2is5

Two and two is five they tell you
Four was from those snowflake liberal days
Two and two is five they tell you
Nothing here to see now be on your way
There not hiding lies anymore
There raising an index finger to your face
There not hiding lies anymore
Its flaunted unquestioned a disgrace

Two and two is five they tell you
There was a time that could not be
Experts spoke with a voice to guide us
Unless the science of choice they disagreed
There not hiding hatred anymore
Its not a tattoo on a shoulder you cannot see
There not hiding hatred anymore
Its a boot in the face as you take the knee

You will do as they say not as they do
They will ring their hands dry of the shame
Like the child who will not be held responsible
They shrug their shoulders and absolve themselves of blame

Two and two is five they tell you
How many more will die like this today
Two and two is five they tell you
Numb to the numbers on the page
The liars are stalking in the temples
The dogs are guarding the gates
The X you marked on the ballot paper
Now resigns you to your fate

You will do as they say not as they do
They will ring their hands dry of the shame
Like the child who will not be held responsible
They shrug their shoulders and absolve themselves of blame

Two and two is five they tell you
Two and two is five they tell you
Two and two is five they tell you
Theres nothing here to see now be on your way
