Debating the issues of mans heart
Debating morality and justice
Debating our individual parts

Electing heroes and leaders
Electing saviors and peacemakers
Electing genius and history readers

Protecting mistakes and failures
Protecting idiots and fakers
Protecting what we don't understand

We speak the things of dreams
Of memories of simpler times
Acting smart and professional

We debate to look like we know best
We're the elect of society
We promise to protect all
We debate, we elect, we protect

We're Liars
