Words by Phillip Sandifer/Music by Phillip Sandifer & Brian Green  The apple is a shallow town  When you're thirty and part of the  Upwardly mobile crowd  So much to say and do  The deal is your God  And the day gets you through but  Chorus  Night after night  The battle for truth goes on  Alone in our heads dealing with every wrong  Night after night  The day must be rationalized  In order to deal with the way we feel  Night after night  A shadow is trailing D.C.  Men who have made it there fight in the name of peace  Hearts once sold out to the truth  Now run where the votes are knowing they're losing  Chorus  With the truth we are so condescending  It's an endless debate  Tell me which one will you be defending  The truth or the take  Repeat Chorus  Night after night
