Bad Sugar

I see a herd of humans - tread a simple track
Hauling old convictions - to raise them like a flag
Hoarding folk-fictions - hidden from attack
So we watch as they wind the clock back

But then I'm wrong - I know I'm wrong
It's just people - and how they get along
With belief - when feeling down-beat
Even bad sugar makes bitter taste sweet
Even bad sugar makes bitter taste sweet
Taste sweet - taste sweet - taste sweet

In their small town library - they loan a single book
cn impure old lure - with blood upon its hook
Of this wide world of wonder - they're scared to take a look
In case some foundation is shook

But then I'm wrong - I know I'm wrong
It's just people - and how they get along
With belief - when feeling down-beat
Even bad sugar makes bitter taste sweet
Even bad sugar makes bitter taste sweet
Taste sweet - taste sweet - taste sweet

Yes, I know they have nowhere to go
Or their Lord is ignoring their prayer
But when they're hiding their heads in the sand
Then it seems they've been damned - by their very own hand

But then I'm wrong - I know I'm wrong
It's just people - and how they get along
With belief - when feeling down-beat
Even bad sugar makes bitter taste sweet
Even bad sugar makes bitter taste sweet
Even bad sugar makes bitter taste sweet
Bad sugar makes bitter taste sweet
Taste sweet - taste sweet - taste sweet
