lyrics

Tongues this sharp can't help but cut through all the bars of Edinburgh
Making chambers safe for echoes of the books we bought
Soon the conversation turns to all the lessons no-one learns
Preaching gospel to the choir never changed a lot

We'll all grow up to be so righteous and trigger happy
So put away those awkward questions and walk with me
As we fight shy of shades of grey, and what is truth now anyway?
I'm told we've had it with the experts and what they say

Then she said, "nuance is dead" and I'd have to agree
There's only black and white upon this screen where colour used to be
So I plug in aerials so we can try to see a debate in more than just the name and some speech that's truly free
But fear always burns much brighter when it's all we have to burn
