letra de the war between is and ought - kobo town

[verse 1]
come friends and let me regale
you with a strange and tragic tale
about the long and cruel war fought
between the land of is and ought
man knows how it began
the strife which down the centuries ran
but all agreed across the divide
it was started by the other side

while the ambitious king of is
claimed all land and sea as his
no less a dominion was sought
by the rightful king of ought
his claim to fight for the real
or to promote the ideal
and each reign fire burned on field and town
to prove the other wrong

[verse 2]
[?] lot
[?] delusion caught
dreaming of things as they ought to be
has lost his grip on reality
he burned this world down without a trace
without a thing to put in its place
he can talk his talk about [?]
he couldn’t say how it would be done

but said is i would have you know
is a blind slave of the status quo
his claim to work with [?] rarely is
allows misery to persist
his charts and graphs amount to a lie
they can never answer the question “why?”
he can talk his talk about trends and laws
but he cannot explain the cause

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
so the rage between ’can’ and ‘should’
between ‘what is’ and ‘what is good’
where love and truth make common cause
they now shoot for the [?]
nothing was left untouched by the fray
and with regret the rest of our days
how the whole wide world was caught
in the mad war between is and ought
how the whole wide world was caught
in the mad war between is and ought
how the whole wide world was caught
in the mad war between is and ought
