“Lyrically, for me, the song is about polarization in society, the framing of us vs. them, and the false notion that, as Isaac Asimov perfectly stated, “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” – K.S. Rhoads
[Verse 1]
Do you know why you’re thinking the way you do?
Do you know why you’re thinking the way you do?
Cause you keep throwing up what they’re feeding you
It doesn’t matter if it’s the truth or not
It doesn’t matter if it’s the truth or not
It is if they can get you to say it enough
[Refrain]
I, I’m never gonna change your mind
I, I’m never gonna change your mind
[Verse 2]
Are you the bullet or are you the [bird?]
Are you the bullet or are you the [bird?]
You’re burning the book and you haven’t read a word
It’s only black and white if you’re playing chess
You have to pick a side if you’re playing chess
Well, that’s the way to keep your head down, I guess
[Refrain]
I, I’m never gonna change your mind
I, I’m never gonna change your mind
Well, those eyes are blind
[?]
I’m never gonna change your mind
I’m never gonna change your mind
I’m never gonna change your mind
I’m never gonna change your mind
