Nothing Is Innocent - Over the Rhine

We’d wake the dead

With voices in our head

We’ve gotten used to ignoring the truth

We close our eyes

And breathe and eat the lies

That tell us we’re so much better than you

Silence is loud

Humility is so proud

Nothing is innocent now

All the king’s men

Will serve scrambled eggs again

When white-washed walls come crashing down

We’ll blink and nod

And say, How odd

And wonder why old friends don’t come around

Silence is loud

Humility is so proud

Nothing is innocent now

The acid rain

We fear the pain

Will blister and burn the skin

But what is more

The fear we bore

Will eat us alive from within

Silence is loud

Humility is so proud

Nothing is innocent now

For you and me In the land of the free

Nothing is innocent now

Nothing is innocent now

Nothing is innocent now
