Rest assured they're weighing words in sympathetic ink. And they don't waste their time suspending disbelief. They just face the facts with thinking caps.

Rest assured they're weighing words in sympathetic ink.
And they don't waste their time suspending disbelief.
They face the facts with thinking caps,
They map out and display,
But that's not the only way.

Common sense won't pay the rent and doesn't grow on trees.
But splitting hairs can get you anything you need.
Who would've thought connecting dots might get you to the point?
But charity's a rarity,
Almost as much as modesty.

Take the bait!
And stay however long it takes.
Before you lay to rest,
However much it takes.

Rest assured they're weighing words in sympathetic ink.
And I don't waste my time suspending disbelief.
Master minds want bottom lines that map out and display.
If I have every bit of faith,
I won't be turning in my grave.

Take the bait!
And stay however long it takes.
Before you lay to rest,
However much it takes.

Take your own advice,
Before you take a side.
Look for middle ground.

Take the bait.
And stay however long it takes.
Before you lay to rest,
However much it takes.
Before you lie and wait,
However long it takes.

First line is from the Fables booklet.
