The Strongest Memory

Revelations, freedom from information

The path we’re on’s the only one that we can imagine

Call us heroes, or you can say we’re traitors

But we will pay for what we say

Named and shamed and incarcerated

Whatever we write

Whatever we print

The faintest ink

Is better than the strongest memory

Whatever you say

Whatever you think

The faintest ink

Is better than the strongest memory

It’s better than the strongest memory

There’s truth and teeth and grief in a word

There’s smoke and dope and dirt in a word

There’s trust and rust and dust in a word

There’s theft and heft and hurt in a word

Whatever we write (etc)

Publications, leading to investigations

Ancient sages from the ages

Silently guide my hands

WikiLeaks partners and all you Julian Assanges

There must be so much heat and noise in your words to create such a strong reaction

Whatever we write (etc)

It’s better than the strongest memory.
