Have you ever spoken with the dead? No one knows, no one will ever know No one has so who will you believe?

What'll they say a hundred years from now? Have you ever spoken with the dead? No one has, no one will ever know What kind of people record history? How do you know that they're to be trusted? Why would they lie and who would benefit? Fundamentalists so take a guess If you could only see If you only just knew We are not free just because we can choose If you could only see If you only just knew We really have nothing to lose We are not free just because we can choose
