Lyrics

Soothsayer (by Judy Kass and Glen Roethel)
Soothsayer, narrator, inspirator
Tell me something I want to hear today
Depleted, overheated
I really need to hear what you have to say
Lies, lies, lies, my head is full
No surprise, all the news is terrible
But you know we just can’t borrow the promise of tomorrow
When we’re reaching back to a darker yesterday
Newscaster, view master, truth blaster
Show me something I want to see today
Unheeded, spreadsheeted
I really wish you’d make it all go away
Lies, lies, lies, aiming for the skeptical
I got scratchy eyes from pulling down the wool
And you know we just can’t borrow the promise of tomorrow
When we’re reaching back to a darker yesterday
Peacemaker, rule breaker, dream maker
Give me something I want to feel today
Mistreated, defeated
I really want to feel a different way
I want to feel a different way
Lies, lies, lies, swimming in a bucketful
I think it's time to rise, rise, rise do what’s sensible
But you know we just can’t borrow the promise of tomorrow
When we’re reaching back to a darker yesterday
