My Word Video (MV)

I wonder for the people who
Have no one else to tell them
How else can anybody see
A meaning that's not absurd
My word!
A secret for the government
A secret for the mobsters
And then the press is asking your guests
What gossip has anyone heard
The truth is only half as true
As they would have it be
'Cause when they sell you their bullshit
They're not talking for free
I wonder what anyone else would say
If facts were theirs to see
But who would sponsor campaigns and heists
If everyone had the key
A secret kept is used by fools
To hide a place for naught
But R+D and sympathy
Will have your scheming bought
They'd rather own a piece of it
Who cares if it works or not
Just don't you let the other guy
Think what you have's not sought
I know you'd keep a promise that's
As dear as family
But could you love your brother as
Much as your bribery
Or do you think it's justified
Because it's salaried
Or better yet, a better bet
A bonus, yours scot-free
Those who give their word to god
And tell us they speak true
Don't refrain from dragging faith
Through everything they do
As they invoke a cause, from war
To ignorance, as virtue
And watch the voters and promoters
Say it's god's work they do
