From the recording Never You Mind!
Lyrics
You got your story and you’re sticking to it, Don’t need no proof, you already knew it.
If the facts come knocking, you lock that door, “Never you mind”—I don’t need to know more.
You pick your truth from a shelf in your head, Believe what you like and call the rest dead.
You’ll swallow the poison, spit out the cure, Call a crooked lie something straight and pure.
When the evidence says you’re wrong, you rewind, Change the channel and say, “Never you mind.”
Never you mind, never you mind, Leave the cold hard facts somewhere far behind.
If it feeds your anger, if it eases your fear, That’s all the truth you’re willing to hear.
Never you mind what the evidence finds, You believe what you want—Never you mind.
You build up a wall with a brick every day, Keep inconvenient truths on the other side away.
You call every question a personal attack, And every correction just another crack.
You trust the voice that confirms what you knew, And turn your back on the inconvenient truth.
You can close your eyes, but the morning still comes, You can plug your ears, but the truth still hums.
