Would you trust a doctor who says pain's a myth?

Would you trust a pilot who's scared of heights?
So why should I trust you to do what's right?

Except for hardship and misery
It's hard to stand and raise your voice
But don't tell me you think it's a choice
Would you trust a dentist with rotting teeth?
Would you trust a banker who praises a thief?
Would you trust a pilot who's scared of heights?
So why should I trust you to do what's right?
'Cause what is right's no guarantee
Except for hardship and misery
It's hard to stand and raise your voice
But don't tell me you think it's a choice
Would you trust a teacher who says the world is flat?
Would you trust a rebel who calls for an autocrat?
Would you trust a pilot who's scared of heights?
So why should I trust you to do what's right?
'Cause what is right's no guarantee
Except for hardship and misery
It's hard to stand and raise your voice
But don't tell me you think it's a choice
'Cause what is right's no guarantee
Except for heartache and misery
It's hard to stand and raise your voice
But don't act like we've got a choice
