Justify And Escalate

Blank and blind
TV blaring and the blinders on
Holy and mighty and out to fight evil
In any form that suits
Graceful explanations
Justify and escalate
Justify and escalate
Its not so bad if you give it a nice name
That people can repeat and remember
Just forget about what it means
And spill out the righteous retort
Explain and explain again
Just to keep your head above water
Defend and deny
Distract and reroute
The evil that suits
Is the full pockets of the suit
And im sure
That if you had a chance
To look the true evil in the eye
You would never sleep again
With the smell of blood in your nose
And the blinders removed
Youll collapse and cry
Or shout at the sky
And remember the pretty
But guilty words you uttered from your lips
And the hate you held for the unlucky few
Will soon be pointed at you
