Lie For A Good Cause
It's all in a good cause they'd say.
Let's face it—they can't get a break.
So we're gonna help 'em out.
Of course it could start like that.
I mean that'd be their excuse.
On the other hand it may be a lie within a lie.
The real reason is another matter.
And must remain secret.
Otherwise, well then the whole shooting match would be revealed.
It could cause others to dig into history.
Even uncover what—God forbid—really happened!
We couldn't allow that.
No telling where that'd lead.
Why the house of cards would go—poof.
So let's just keep this lie alive a while longer.
Get more mileage out of it.
The gift that keeps on giving.
The fiction that keeps on working and
justifying all sorts of activity.
Mostly criminal of course.
But no one will know as long as they don’t' know.
I mean that would get sticky.
Untenable.
Of course we've got our army of liars out there doing what they do best.
Keeping the whole operation afloat.
And as long as everyone uses the same talking points,
well what can go wrong?
Not a thing.
Not an itsy-bitsy tiny weeny little molecule of disgrace will fall on us prevaricators.
The GD system will back us up.
After all we're paying them with virtue approval or cold hard cabbage.
They better hold the line if they know what's good for 'em.
No one thinking for themselves now.
Lockstep everyone.
Follow my lead.
AND—if someone says otherwise—you know what to do.
ATTACK.
NAMECALL.
DISCREDIT.
ASSASSINATE.
Everyone clear?
Good.
After all it's a lie for a good cause.
Right?
I said—RIGHT!?
