On the line dividing fact and fiction
You'd like to stake your reputation
But the natural man has an addiction
To believe the worst of fabrications
And when the rumor is on the wire
It will be trial by fire

It's a test of any man's endurance
Just to survive the castigations
You hope and pray for some deliverance
As you turn to face the accusations
And when your future is on the line
What will your answers be'
Come to the question and state your case

Will you make or break it'
Choose your weapons well
Make or break it
Soon the toll will tell
All freedom has its price
Is this your paradise'

A mastermind of much illusion
Media controls the public reason
It terrifies with great confusion
And a power that fosters truth or treason

And when the rumor is on the wire
It will be trial by fire
And fact and fiction don't mean a thing

Will you make or break it'
Choose your weapons well
Make or break it
Soon the toll will tell
All freedom has its price
Is this your paradise'

And many good men have fallen
With no defense from the fatal word
Is this a part of the American dream

Will you make or break it'
Choose your weapons well
Make or break it
Soon the toll will tell
All freedom has its price
Is this your paradise'
