Let it Lie

Um where are you takin' me
Aha so many questions I think it's about time
I give you some answers
Wow what is this
You see Migo
There was a time when Yetis lived beneath the clouds
We were alive and we were thriving
Till we came across a crowd
Of Smallfoot that's right we used to live down there
But there were actions we could not forgive down there
And though they used a different nomenclature
Man or human they showed us human nature
A dangerous species that we approached with wonder
They attacked with their spears and their smokin' sticks of thunder
They called us Sasquatch they called us abominable
They chased us pursued us their persistence indomitable
We had no choice but to run and hide
Otherwise we surmised we were facin' genocide
So we climbed this mountain just to stay alive
You see we knew that up here Smallfoot cannot survive
So it was here the first law was written in stone
It was named and proclaimed as a truth to be known
Our world is an island
It floats on a sea of endless clouds
That's how it would be
And then we wrote more laws more rules to obey
For the sake of us all it was the only way
To protect us from all of the human ravages
Heaped upon us by those human savages
Now you know now you know now you know
Now you know now you know and new rules apply
Now you know now you know now you know
So it's best just to let it lie let it lie
Now you know now you know now you know
Now you know now you know and you can't deny
Now you know now you know now you know
That it's best just to let it lie let it lie
But my Smallfoot he's not like that
They're all like that tell me when you found him
Did he greet you with open arms
They don't care about us
They don't care about anything but themselves
Which is why we must do the same
If we care about our future
Wait we're below the clouds
Or so it would seem but look closer
Those aren't clouds it's steam
The stones are working
The stones
Every job and every task is pointless as it seems
All of it ensures that this important machine
Keeps turning and turning and spinnin' around
So those below don't look up and those above don't look down
And they'll look 'cause even if they hear of these atrocities
The only thing stronger than fear is curiosity
Now you know now you know now you know
So none of those stones are true they're all lies
Let it lie
Good lies to protect our world
But they need to know the truth
Oh do they
You feel emboldened by your noble quest to find the truth
I chalk it up to the naive innocence of youth
So let me share a secret
That you'll learn as you grow older
What's true or not true is in the eye of the beholder
So do you wanna prevent our own annihilation yes
Then our only goal should be to control the flow of information
Unless you wanna see the Smallfoot conquer and pillage no
Then protect the lie and you protect the village
Lives are at stake Migo your friends your father Meechee
She's curious and you know what they say curiosity killed the yak
So what do you want me to do
Tell everyone you were lying about the Smallfoot
But they've already seen it they they're not gonna believe me
You'll be surprised at what they'll believe
You think knowledge is power Migo
Now you know now you know now you know
Now you know now you know
Question is
Now you know now you know now you know
What are you gonna do with that power
Hmm
