On the line dividing fact and fiction You'd like to stake your reputation But the natural man has an addiction To believe the worst of fabrications And when the rumor is on the wire It will be trial by fire It's a test of any man's endurance Just to survive the castigations You hope and pray for some deliverance As you turn to face the accusations And when your future is on the line What will your answers be? Come to the question and state your case Will you make or break it? Choose your weapons well Make or break it Soon the toll will tell All freedom has its price Is this your paradise? A mastermind of much illusion Media controls the public reason It terrifies with great confusion And a power that fosters truth or treason And when the rumor is on the wire It will be trial by fire And fact and fiction don't mean a thing Will you make or break it? Choose your weapons well Make or break it Soon the toll will tell All freedom has its price Is this your paradise? And many good men have fallen With no defense from the fatal word Is this a part of the American dream Will you make or break it? Choose your weapons well Make or break it Soon the toll will tell All freedom has its price Is this your paradise?
