It was a fact before the Arabs
It was a fact before the wheel
It was a fact before the Old South
That the facts don't matter, just the feel

Way back before the garden flooded
Before the people made the deal
Before the tower was erected
The facts didn't matter, just the feel

Who's gonna take a stand'
Who's gonna divide the fiction from the real'
Who's gonna say they doubt it and live to talk about it
When the facts don't matter, just the feel'

Who's got the nerve to fight the system'
Who's got the famous nerves of steel'
Who's got a will that can't be broken, in a world where
The facts don't matter, just the feel'

Yeah, yeah, yeah - everybody laughs 'til everybody cries
Yeah, yeah, yeah - everybody lives 'til everybody dies
And no one can believe their eyes

Who's gonna make a stand'
Who's gonna divide the fiction from the real'
Who's gonna say, "man, I doubt it,"
