Lyrics
You hold it in your hand
You turn it in your mind
You dress it up and strip it down
You leave no trace behind
You toss it in the air
You probe it for a sign
You paint it nice and slowly dip it in
The water's feeling just fine
So you float it out there for the people to see
But you cloud it with so much smoke who knows really what it might be?
You sell it as the plan to set the righteous free
And if anyone should stand in your way they hate your liberty
You fashion justice and hope out of hubris and greed
You forge a trail that leads straight up from the people in need
