Beyond the Veil
there's a world out there
waiting for you
and everybody in it
got a different point of view
and you can play the fool
and you can play the prophet
and you are free to fill
your empty pockets
with stones to throw down your dry wishing well
there's always something to prove
or somebody's got something to tell
but a whole lot of good it will do
oh beyond the veil
politicians spread your lies
let the media spread the news
water it all down
from the pulpits to the pews
you make me choose a better way to lose
and the ones that look for some truth
or the ones in their dark jail cells
are the ones just like me and you
oh but beyond the veil
where the secrets kept from the darkened depths
that the crown can afford to abuse
leaves nothing behind but a thinly drawn line
that we walk in these worn out shoes
in a world that can't think for itself
look beyond the veil
