From the album "Forsaken Derided or Betrayed by Those Offended by My Objecting to Being Insulted Mistreated or Deceived by Them"

lyrics

I know those people
as they hope you never will;
what they keep alive
and what they choose to kill.

I’m no longer there
to play the tragic stand-in
nor what role the
audience was demandin’.

I walked off the play.
It had to be that way.

The only secret which
cannot be kept
is bigger than the carpet
under which it’s swept.

All has been revealed
with motives naked,
with the truth so candid
it had to be fak-ed,

‘cause lies are all they say.
They have to be that way.

One synapse between
complicit and conspiracy;
witnesses who don’t hold
their tongues will not go free.

They’ve lived so long
that way that they can’t ‘fess-up
when someone might object
to how they mess-up,

‘cause they have to have their way,
no matter what you say.
