I saw my revolution sold to a priestnI saw the men of reason bow down to the eastnnAnd oh, it's better to knownOh, it's better to know.nnThe truth can make you bitternEven while it sets you freenThe truth's a hauting daunting mistressnShe ain't been good to mennAnd oh, it's better to knownOh, it's better to know.nnDespite all the fools and liarsnDespite all of the warsnThe puruit of liberty isnStill a noble causennAnd oh, it's better to knownOh, I swear it's better to know.nnAll the forces of distortionnAll the pretty words you saidnThe elephant in your living roomnThe fascist in your bednnAnd oh, it's better to knownOh, I swear it's better to know.nEven though we're so alonenFor so longnWe've been so alonenFor so longn
