Question Everything

amazonitunes

When I was a kid I was taught
not to believe everything that you read
or trust everything that you see
it's what was expected of me
 
it made me quite a cynical man
and I don't think that was part of the plan
but at least I know my values can stand
up to scrutiny
 
Now I have children of my own
The one thing I want them to know
The only thing you should do without question
Is question everything
 
It seems pretty obvious when you think
that a reporter who's paid by the inch
might feel like they have to print
what they're told to
 
but who makes the money from the sales
who takes no risks when it fails
and who never gets sent to jail
no matter what they do
 
If you find yourself watching the news
And you're not sure what is the truth
Maybe it's time for you to choose
To question everything
 
I don't expect them to grow up to think like me
and maybe have more faith in all humanity
but at least I hope they're able to see
the world for what it is
 
if we can raise our children to make up their own minds
then maybe when they're what's left behind
the world will be a little more kind
moving forward
 
And when they have children of their own
I hope that they want them to know
The only thing you should do without question
Is question everything
