    Story Behind the Song
    This song was written in response to the war in Iraq and speaks to how we look for oversimplified solutions to complex problems.

    Lyrics
    how are we so misguided
    by everything we see
    our own denial is something common
    but we all disagree
    it's become very easy
    to look the other way
    when all the wars that we've created
    are a million miles away

    come with me on a field trip
    pretend your in first grade
    come see the world as you once saw it
    before you turned away
    the young ask all of the questions
    that put to rest my fears
    what is it that overtakes us
    that makes us insincere

    everything is so complicated
    but we simplify
    our minds have been confiscated
    all we see is black and white

    our fate is stil undecided
    been handed down to you
    to break this chain of faulty reason
    the facts we misconstrue
    time to lift all that blinds us
    awaken from this trance
    only then can we tell freedom
    from a wasted chance

    everything is so complicated
    but we simplify
    our minds have been confiscated
    all we see is black and white
