Let it Lie - Common
Um where are you takin'me Aha so many questions I think it'sabout time I give you some answers Wow what is this You see Migo There was a time when Yetis lived beneath the clouds We were alive and we were thriving Till we came across a crowd Of Smallfoot that'sright we used to live down there But there were actions we could not forgive down there And though they used a different nomenclature Man or human they showed us human nature A dangerous species that we approached with wonder They attacked with their spears and their smokin'sticks of thunder They called us Sasquatch they called us abominable They chased us pursued us their persistence indomitable We had no choice but to run and hide Otherwise we surmised we were facin'genocide So we climbed this mountain just to stay alive You see we knew that up here Smallfoot cannot survive So it was here the first law was written in stone It was named and proclaimed as a truth to be known Our world is an island It floats on a sea of endless clouds That'show it would be And then we wrote more laws more rules to obey For the sake of us all it was the only way To protect us from all of the human ravages Heaped upon us by those human savages Now you know now you know now you know Now you know now you know and new rules apply Now you know now you know now you know So it'sbest just to let it lie let it lie Now you know now you know now you know Now you know now you know and you can'tdeny Now you know now you know now you know That it'sbest just to let it lie let it lie But my Smallfoot he'snot like that They'reall like that tell me when you found him Did he greet you with open arms They don'tcare about us They don'tcare about anything but themselves Which is why we must do the same If we care about our future Wait we'rebelow the clouds Or so it would seem but look closer Those aren'tclouds it'ssteam The stones are working The stones Every job and every task is pointless as it seems All of it ensures that this important machine Keeps turning and turning and spinnin'around So those below don'tlook up and those above don'tlook down And they'lllook 'causeeven if they hear of these atrocities The only thing stronger than fear is curiosity Now you know now you know now you know So none of those stones are true they'reall lies Let it lie Good lies to protect our world But they need to know the truth Oh do they You feel emboldened by your noble quest to find the truth I chalk it up to the naive innocence of youth So let me share a secret That you'lllearn as you grow older What'strue or not true is in the eye of the beholder So do you wanna prevent our own annihilation yes Then our only goal should be to control the flow of information Unless you wanna see the Smallfoot conquer and pillage no Then protect the lie and you protect the village Lives are at stake Migo your friends your father Meechee She'scurious and you know what they say curiosity killed the yak So what do you want me to do Tell everyone you were lying about the Smallfoot But they'vealready seen it they they'renot gonna believe me You'llbe surprised at what they'llbelieve You think knowledge is power Migo Now you know now you know now you know Now you know now you know Question is Now you know now you know now you know What are you gonna do with that power Hmm Guitar score
