[Verse 1] David smiles for the lens Hands open, dressed in grace Talks of peace and common ground While he draws the lines in place He shakes your hand so warm Then counts your friends like debt Names the ones who question him And marks them all as threat [Pre-Chorus] He says, "We're one, we're one" But he sorts the room by fear And every bridge we ever built Turns to smoke the second he's near [Chorus] If they only knew what I knew They wouldn't back you like they do If they only knew what I knew They wouldn't back you like they do You wear a silver face I see the blade in view If they only knew what I knew They wouldn't back you like they do [Verse 2] Behind the smiles, the meetings The quiet little deals He feeds the restless rumor Then pretends he's just revealing The ones who call him out Get pushed out in the rain Suddenly they're trouble now A name that tastes like shame He builds his crown from blame And calls it unity While every voice he buries Says he planned this carefully [Pre-Chorus] He says, "We're one, we're one" But he sorts the room by fear And every bridge he promises Turns to smoke the second he's near [Chorus] If they only knew what I knew They wouldn't back you like they do If they only knew what I knew They wouldn't back you like they do You wear a silver face I see the blade in view If they only knew what I knew They wouldn't back you like they do [Bridge] Maybe truth comes late Maybe truth comes hard When the crowd stops chanting And the whole thing falls apart Then the ones you cast out Stand taller than before And the name you used to own Won't open any door [Final Chorus] If they only knew what I knew They wouldn't back you like they do If they only knew what I knew They wouldn't back you like they do You wear a silver face I see the blade in view If they only knew what I knew They wouldn't back you like they do
