The Indelicates - 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
