Simple Math
Unveiling Truth: Simple Math and the Cost of Deception
Lyrics
Simple math or so they say
Expressing skepticism about the simplicity of mathematical solutions to problems.
The beast is hungry and is here to stay
Describing a persistent and insatiable force or challenge.
We'll do our best not to complicate
Committing to simplicity and avoiding unnecessary complexity.
Attempt to cloud our vision and we'll seal your fate
Warning against attempts to obscure clarity, with consequences for those who try.
You crucify the ones that hold some truth
Criticizing the tendency to condemn those who speak the truth.
While you glorify the pundits that are long in the tooth
Contrasting the neglect of insightful individuals with the praise for experienced but outdated commentators.
Selling fear and covering facts
Accusing the media of instilling fear and neglecting essential facts.
You drop the story and no one asks
Highlighting the lack of curiosity or questioning when certain narratives are presented.
And once it's dropped, never to be found
Emphasizing the permanence of certain narratives once they are introduced.
The price we pay is high
Addressing the high cost associated with accepting certain narratives.
Higher than the thresholds of the truth
Comparing the cost of accepting narratives to truth with a metaphorical threshold.
Falling buildings, dead end trails
Describing destructive events and situations with falling buildings and dead-end trails.
Fallacies over proof
Highlighting the prevalence of fallacies over evidence or proof.
And as if it's all same, from the logical to the insane
Observing a lack of differentiation between logical and insane situations.
Paying for a fortune or how it's told
Questioning the cost of adhering to a particular narrative, whether through payment or sacrifice.
The sales pitch, yeah it never gets old
Criticizing the repetitive nature of persuasive tactics or sales pitches.
Do you follow the machine that paves the way
Pondering whether individuals align themselves with the dominant system that shapes perspectives.
Are you groomed to be accepting and tolerate
Asking if people are conditioned to accept and endure certain behaviors.
Villainous behavior at a discount rate
Highlighting unethical conduct at a reduced cost or societal discount.
Rather than eclipsing the horizon of the counterweight
Encouraging a perspective beyond the prevailing narrative or status quo.
You crucify the ones that hold some truth
Reiterating the criticism of condemning truth-speakers.
While you glorify the pundits that are long in the tooth
Repeating the contrast between neglecting truth and praising experienced yet outdated commentators.
