“Don’t swallow the lies”

Trust to your instincts
If it’s safely restrained
Lightning reactions
Must be carefully trained

Heat of the moment
Curse of the young
Spit out your anger
Don’t swallow your tongue

STICK IT OUT

Don’t swallow the poison
SPIT IT OUT
Don’t swallow your pride
STICK IT OUT
Don’t swallow your anger
SPIT IT OUT
Don’t swallow the lies

Natural reflex
Pendulum swing
You might be too dizzy
To do the right thing

Trial under fire
Ultimate proof
Moment of crisis
Don’t swallow the truth

STICK IT OUT

Each time we bathe our reactions
In artificial light
Each time we alter the focus
To make the wrong moves seem right

You get so used to deception
You make yourself a nervous wreck
You get so used to surrender
Running back to cover your neck

STICK IT OUT

Lyrics: Neil Peart, Rush



I said to myself, “Come now, I will make a test of pleasure; enjoy yourself.”

But behold, this also was vanity.

I said of laughter, “It is mad,” and of pleasure, “What use is it?”

Ecclesiastes 2:1-2 RSV


He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting.

Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”

Job 8:21-22 RSV


Even in laughter the heart is sad, and the end of joy is grief.

Proverbs 14:13 RSV

Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of countenance the heart is made glad.T

he heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

Ecclesiastes 7:3-4 RSV
