Truth I Never Knew (Crushing on Bertrand)
A love letter to Bertrand Russell. Totally appropriate. Deeply heartfelt. Entirely overdue.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Oh Bertrand Russell I’ve got to confess A crush that’s burning But I must digress We met just days ago So tragic, profound Too bad you're buried Deep underground [Verse 2] Never knew this truth About opinions, lies Half a century passed Under clear blue skies Thought all were seeking Truth's sharp blade Now I see we're in A grand masquerade [Chorus] Did you know Did you ever see? Most would rather die Than think, be free People's opinions Mainly designed To keep them comfy Ease their minds [Bridge] Tell me friends What about you? Did you think like me Or were you in it too? Is it truth you seek Or just some calm? A world wrapped softly Away from harm [Chorus] Did you know Did you ever see? Most would rather die Than think, be free People's opinions Mainly designed To keep them comfy Ease their minds [Outro] So here we stand With Russell's ghost near Laughing at folly We've all held dear Will you stay in the dark Or seek the light? To lace up those shoes And join the fight? [End with a Question subdued intimate loving] What drives your thoughts What’s the real goal? Are you searching for truth Or soothing your soul?
