.<\/p>\n
No proof
\nNo proof
\nSaid the white rabbit
\nBut the king and queen
\nDon\u2019t need a trial
\nReally
\nThey just need
\nThe jury to
\nBelieve in
\nFog, and smoke
\nSend out that smoke
\nSmoke machines, little grenades
\nOn the six o\u2019clock news
\nLaunched over a decade
\nDecade of words
\nIt must be true
\nIf everybody says so
\nEverybody said so
\nFor ten long years
\nTalk, as always,
\ncheap
\nCosting only
\nThe ad time
\nFor pharmaceuticals<\/p>\n
We cannot have a trial
\nIf there\u2019s no proof
\nexplained the king
\nHe might be found
\nNot guilty
\nGhastly
\nUnpatriotic thought
\nTo find our chosen enemy
\nOur scapegoat
\nInnocent
\nPeople want revenge
\nThe people might
\nThe king said carefully
\nLose their faith in us. <\/p>\n
Faith, the hideout for
\nManipulation,
\nLies and fraud
\nNot seeing that the roses
\nHave been painted red
\nNo need for trials
\nAnd juries, anymore
\nJust the faith
\nNo need for logic<\/p>\n
A dead enemy
\nCan\u2019t defend himself
\nOne-sided conversations
\nDon\u2019t arrive at
\nTruth
\nBut truth, like logic
\nDoesn\u2019t seem to matter
\nTo the crowds who
\nDance with such abandon<\/p>\n
Evidence?
\nThe smoke\u2019s enough
\nTo make us throw away
\nOur trials and juries
\nPut aside our logic
\nPut those brain cells
\nIn the closet
\nAnd celebrate
\nA meaningless
\nAnd maybe false
\nRevenge
