Let truth be told   Until it's sold   Silence is golden   Too bad it's all been stolen   Stolen, stolen, stolen      Our defense is your defense   Your defense in some sense   Some senseless way unfolded   Folded 'cause it's all been stolen   Stolen, stolen, stolen      The gilded scale was burning   Just as your back was turning   Just as our trust was leaving   You'd have us all believing      These truths we hold   Self evident   Bought and sold   Not Why do we spend      The more you hunt the more I sing   Then quickly rewrite everything   Truth returns bloated, swollen   Then disappears it's been stolen   Stolen, stolen, stolen      The gilded scale was burning   Just as your back was turning   Just as our trust was leaving   You'd have us all believing      These truths we hold   Self evident   Bought and sold   Not Why do we spend      It's all been stolen   It's all been stolen   It's all been stolen
