The “Both Sides” Scam

Truth has a cost, but the lies damn the land, We’re choking on smoke from the “Both Sides” scam.

[Verse 1]
They say tone it down while the fire’s still burning,
One side’s preaching hate, the other’s still learning.
False balance feeds the flames, we all know the plan,
Democracy’s breaking on the “Both Sides” scam.

[Chorus]
This is not the same, stop the charade,
One side builds bridges, the other brings rage.
Truth has a cost, but the lies damn the land,
We’re choking on smoke from the “Both Sides” scam.

[Verse 2]
History’s receipts carved deep in the stone,
Violence as a weapon is the right’s cornerstone.
They shout “victim” loud with a torch in their hand,
But justice won’t bow to the “Both Sides” scam.

[Chorus]
This is not the same, stop the charade,
One side builds bridges, the other brings rage.
Truth has a cost, but the lies damn the land,
We’re choking on smoke from the “Both Sides” scam.

[Bridge]
Stand up, call it by name,
Silence is fuel for the flame.
If we don’t tell the truth while we can,
We’re lost in the dark of the “Both Sides” scam.

[Final Chorus/Outro]
This is not the same, stop the charade,
One side builds hope, the other builds hate.
Truth has a cost, but the lies damn the land,
The house won’t survive the “Both Sides” scam.
