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 DC
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
