(It appears that the "legacy" of the past year's events
is that "truth" is subservient to personal convenience and political expediency...)
 
ONE BIG LIE
(To the tune of "One Big Sky," from the Kansas album In the Spirit of Things)
 
 
Empty voices, loud and shrill
Debate if words have meaning still
If we don't say it, no one will
Over one big lie
 
Shifting logic; sleight of hand
Standing firm on sinking sand
If we won't hold out, no one can
Over one big lie
 
Over one big lie a voice is crying to be heard
But in a world where truth has died, that voice seems so absurd
We are gambling with our future
Ignoring just what's the truth here
All depends on what we do here
Over one big lie
 
Lust for power; spurn the cost
Truthfulness in toilet tossed
If we don't stop it, we'll be lost
Over one big lie
 
Over one big lie a voice is crying to be heard
But in a world where truth has died, that voice seems so absurd
We are gambling with our future
Ignoring just what's the truth here
All depends on what we do here
Over one big lie
