lyrics
All of the things
Whose metaphorical wings
Are broken
Can still be fixed
She said with a smile
And all you’ve got to do
To make your dreams come true
Is be open
Think positive thoughts
And hold your head up high
And it’s all up to you
It’s all up to you
But if you think you can dance
There’s a whole world waiting to tell you that you can’t
They say their hips don’t lie
But their hearts can tell a thousand half-truths
Remember your free
In this meritocracy
Of opportunities and golden slumbers
Just let yourself go now
And don’t be afraid
Because it’s all up to you
It’s all up to you
And if you think you can dance
There’s a whole world waiting to tell you that you can’t
But just say your lips don’t lie
And then your heart can tell a thousand half-truths
Now your phone’s too smart for you
And your loan’s too big for you too
Whatchu gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
Your self esteem
Is a free live stream
And your conscious when you consume
All you can eat
Al that they’ve got
Whose metaphorical wings
Are broken
Can still be fixed
She said with a smile
And all you’ve got to do
To make your dreams come true
Is be open
Think positive thoughts
And hold your head up high
And it’s all up to you
It’s all up to you
But if you think you can dance
There’s a whole world waiting to tell you that you can’t
They say their hips don’t lie
But their hearts can tell a thousand half-truths
Remember your free
In this meritocracy
Of opportunities and golden slumbers
Just let yourself go now
And don’t be afraid
Because it’s all up to you
It’s all up to you
And if you think you can dance
There’s a whole world waiting to tell you that you can’t
But just say your lips don’t lie
And then your heart can tell a thousand half-truths
Now your phone’s too smart for you
And your loan’s too big for you too
Whatchu gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
Your self esteem
Is a free live stream
And your conscious when you consume
All you can eat
Al that they’ve got

supported by 4 fans who also own “A Thousand Half-Truths”
The name of this album perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Elizabeth's musical output from the Darlings to Allo Darlin' to these precious songs: an unyielding optimism that is never naive, and by being so, becomes wildly contagious. Some music tells you that "everything will be ok", but her music actually makes you believe it, even when the lyrics hint at doubt.
