about

The video is mostly pro-truth with some implied criticism of government.

lyrics

Here comes the Wizard, a grifter
A Tin Man and a lout
A Scarecrow and a grifter
A Lion full of doubt

Here comes the O.J. Jury
From dying hive to field
To chant in hopeless fury
To false hope they would yield

Truth is black and blue
Every lie gets a “Yup”
She's down for the count
Who will help her up?

Here come the vows of chastity
His promises to the world
To crowds that moan in ecstasy
Their cold toes curled

WHO WILL HELP HER UP?

Here come the songs of protests past
That thump with lead cliches
He dances as an outsized ass
The bigot's Passion Plays

Truth is black and blue
Every lie gets a “Yup”
She's down for the count
Who will help her up?

Here come the bitter edicts
The goblin's poison pills
Sweetened with cheap conceits
That make them all quite ill

Here comes the fire to kindled heads
Destroying lessons learned
Purging heroes, alive and dead
Who'd see the monster burned

Truth is black and blue
Every lie gets a “Yup”
She's down for the count
Who will help her up?

Here comes the smell of bacon
To throngs that lost their nose
Who, blinded by his beacon
Are headed for the shoals

Shining city on the hill
No longer lit by glory
Fans the embers of a waning will
To live another story

Truth is black and blue
Every lie gets a “Yup”
She is down for the count
Who will help her up?
