lyrics

I don't believe in gravity.
Your institutions lie to me.
Open up your eyes and see
we're caught in the machinery
where every lie's the same to me
and every truth is heresy.

If you study the topography
your mind becomes a casualty,
blinded by the fallacies,
without belief I still can see
the bright intrinsic beauty
in your theory of gravity.

The truth is a flat thing.
Don't tell me it's curving
out on the horizon.
The truth is a flat thing
that stretches unbending
in every direction.
The truth is a flat thing.

I believe that they killed Kennedy,
backed killers and insurgencies
from Bolivia to Haiti,
classified in secrecy.
I don't believe what I can't see,
and you tell me about gravity.

No, I don't believe in gravity,
it's not in my philosophy.
Your institutions lie to me.
We're caught in the machinery.
When every lie's the same to me
my every truth is heresy.
