Let It Lie Lyrics - Common

Um where are you takin' me? 

So many questions 

I think it's about time I give you some answers 

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 spears and their smokin' sticks of thunder 

They called us Sasquatch, they called us abominable 

They chased us, pursed 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 we 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 

That it's best just to 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 

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 

That's why we must do the same if we care about our future 

Photos 

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 machines 

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 

Wait so, so none of those stones are true, they're all lies 

Now you know, now you know 

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 innocense 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 

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'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?
