Lyrics by Indi Riverflow

Diogenes went a-hunting for an honest man
Said I’ll surely find one if I can
I’ve been all up and down this land
But I’ve never seen the real deal first-hand

All of the balance and none of the check
It’s about as fair as you might expect
Cork popping on the bottleneck
Dealing from the bottom of half-stacked decks

{Chorus}
Northbound suddenly heading south
Two truths coming from a single mouth
Didn’t know the world was so flexible
It’s absolutely incredible

I carry a lamp by the broad light of day
Ever seeking new ways to disobey
Heckling authority is my true forte
Scraping by on panhandler’s pay

I’ve heard words that beggar belief
Raised in defense of a millionaire thief
Hiding behind a little fig leaf
But a two-bit hustler gets no relief

I’ve been to bordellos and boardrooms
I’ve seen manure spruced with perfume
Watched while wolves pull on wool costumes
Cozying up the sheep they’re about to consume
