Macguffins of the Mind lyrics
The voices sound in every generation
The story is the same as always told
Illusive list of wrongs
Offenses deep and long
Cruel accusers in familiar molds
Trading on the dark sides of our nature
Counting on our distrust and our fear
Searching for the worst
The last become the first
Listeners hear what they want to hear
They try to vilify a hidden villain
They won't reveal the documents they clutch
And the crumbs they try to crush
Nothing real for them to touch
Just a drawing in the dust
Hidden by the underbrush
Undefined
MacGuffins of the mind
The object of the chase is in the chasing
Players playing hard to win the game
Staging guilty scenes
The ends outweigh the means
All is fair in placing of the blame
They fabricate the fictional MacGuffins
Devious designers in command
Shady sleight of hand
Distractions from the plan
Loyalties and secrets on demand
The try to vilify a hidden villain....
