[Intro] Black suit Black tie Stack of docs Camera light in a one-room office "Hit record Let’s roll the clock" [Verse 1] They got a briefcase full of footnotes Dusty books on the second shelf Reading Rudolf in the neon glow Connecting dots that hide themselves He’s got that stare through the lens now She’s got that stack of red-lined files They say "we’re on a mission from truth" And they walk that mile [Chorus] We’re on a mission from truth Yeah (hey!) Digging through the dark Through the lies Through the proof Yeah (come on) From Dallas to the stars in the sky Shadow plays where the secrets hide We’re on a mission from truth And the blues won’t let it slide [Verse 2] Old film flicker on the white wall Motorcade frozen in time Whispers hang in the hallway When the story don’t match the line Classified in the basement Stamps of black on the page But the band kicks hard on the downbeat Shake the dust off that cage [Chorus] [Bridge] Horn hits shout like sirens Organ swells under every name "Deep state Hidden hands" they’re saying While the groove keeps fanning that flame From worn-out notes of a mystic To a saucer over some base They turn that fear into questions Right here Face to face [Chorus] Ooooh ooooh Yeah yeah Ooooh ooooh The blues won’t let it slide Ooooh ooooh yeah yeah And the blues won't let it slide Ooooh ooooh
