Where the Bodies Are
Unveiling Secrets: Where Silence Hides the Truth
Lyrics
somebody went and killed some people
Somebody has committed murder
And they know who
The identity of the killer is known
The evidence fits around the facts
Evidence strongly supports the facts
Like a favourite shoe
The evidence fits perfectly, like a familiar shoe
But nobody knows where the corpses are
Location of the corpses is unknown
Their whereabouts unknown
Their whereabouts remain a mystery
The killer's in a frenzy
The killer is in a state of frenzy
And he's getting on the phone
The killer is making phone calls
So they got their thinking hats on
Investigators are putting on their thinking hats
And spread out in their cars
Investigators are spreading out in cars
But only I know where the bodies are
Only the speaker knows the location of the bodies
You know they can i.d. someone
Identification of individuals is possible from a tiny skin sample
From one cell of skin
The killer could have allowed investigators into the crime scene unnoticed
But they couldn't spot a crime scene
Genetic fingerprinting is not foolproof
If the killer went and let 'em in
We all conceal our mistakes
To genetic fingerprinting
Hiding evidence to avoid detection
We all take off our hats
We acknowledge our imperfections
To hide the little stains that spread
Attempting to hide the consequences of our actions
Across the welcome mat
Putting on a facade while facing challenges
You can put your best foot forward
Optimistically moving forward
And wish upon a star
Wishing for a better future
But only I know where the bodies are
Only the speaker knows the location of the bodies
Lawyers defending guilty men
Lawyers defending criminals focus on winning cases
Depending on the bid
The outcome depends on the highest bid
The question isn't if they're guilty
The question is not guilt but the likelihood of acquittal
But if they'll get acquitted
Justice is often compromised
Justice goes unjustfied
Difficulties in proving pain as a legal concept
Beneath a police chief and an eagle
Authority figures and symbols may overshadow justice
Pain's too difficult to prove
Pain is not recognized as illegal
They're not going to make pain illegal
Reflecting on the loss of innocence
To think that we were once naive
The realization of societal progress
To think we've come this far
Realizing the speaker's unique knowledge of the bodies' location
To think that only I know where the bodies are
Reflecting on the exclusivity of the speaker's information
Some people don't wanna know
Some people prefer ignorance about certain situations
The facts behind the scam
Avoiding awareness of deception
Or see "Who could I be?"
The speaker's identity concealed behind grandiosity
Peeking out behind "The great I am"
Concealing one's true self
But most of us got enough to think about
Mind occupied with personal concerns
Husbands and wives
Focusing on relationships and daily life
To notice pointless death's become
Unaware of the prevalence of senseless death
A brand new way of life
Society adapting to a new reality of death
And this is just a sandwich board
The speaker's public persona
That I wear out in the park
Announcing exclusive knowledge of the bodies
Saying only I know where the bodies are
Asserting sole possession of information
(And I'm not telling you.)
The speaker refuses to disclose the information
