Some people need to feel that they have special knowledge about the world that others don't. This leaves them open to believing crazy lies without evidence. Perhaps you know someone like this, or maybe it's you?

SAVE US FROM OURSELVES (Jason Mitchell)  

  

I’ve gotta live like everybody else  

Runnin’ all around then waking up again  

Some try to lead us, then they gon’ deceive us  

Can we get beyond the me me me me me  

  

No it ain’t too late to turn this thing around  

‘Cause a way to change the story must be found  

What we gonna do? The ship has run aground  

  

Simple to see, we got lost in a fable  

Don’t count on me, I’m just reading the papers  

Down on our knees is not gonna save us from ourselves  

  

We’ve gotta live with everybody else  

Need to make a choice ‘tween truth or reality  

Some want to blame us, or they try to shame us  

Pushing all our buttons while they’re pulling all the strings  

  

No it ain’t too late to turn this thing around  

‘Cause a way to change the story must be found  

What we gonna do? The ship has run aground  

  

Simple to see, we got lost in a fable  

Don’t count on me, I’m just reading the papers  

Down on our knees is not gonna save us from ourselves  

  

No it ain’t too late to turn this thing around  

‘Cause a way to change the story must be found  

  

Simple to see, we got lost in a fable  

Don’t look at me, I’m just reading the papers  

Grinding our teeth about an illusion  

Down on our knees is not gonna save us from ourselves  

  

Down on our knees is not gonna save us from ourselves
