The illusion of changing minds

«Be a positive light.

Don’t be a sheep.

Don’t be blind.»

But the taste of metal and a shock to the lips

Brings on a sudden shift

To blanket statements and quotes from the usual script

(Reparations)

We thought we’d opened our minds

(We're making payments)

The blame has just changed sides

(Reparations)

This is not so black-and-white

(We're making payments)

There’s no wrong, there’s no right

(Reparations)

We thought we’d opened our minds

(We're making payments)

The blame has just changed sides

(Reparations)

This is not so black-and-white

(We're making payments)

There’s no wrong, there’s no right

Hide behind an attempt to offend.

Advocate of a trend

So take a second thought before the signal goes out

Cause the cliches of the pen have made a liar of the mouth

Ideas based upon slogans and catchphrases

Building collections of worn out statements

Oh, will we ever be more than mice in mazes or will we always be making

payments for reparations?
