(Hard road, hard road)
Autumn, the fog rolls low
Over rooftops far below the

Springtime, the vespers chime
Blossoms fill the trees that line the
(Hard road, hard road)
Where did all your worries go?
Now I guess we'll never know
How you hit the
Well, how you hit the
You said "don't let your heart give out"
No, I won't let my heart give out
You said "don't let your breath run out"
No, I won't let my breath run out
Well it's true, I push too hard I guess
To use whatever fuel is left
At it's best it's all the art of doubt
Well, I really don't know how we call this peace
'Cause it's a goddamn shame about the wall to wall wars
Pleading self-defence but the story's old
Now there's worth that we're told
There's a promise on the way, yeah
I don't believe what they say
You said "don't let your heart give out"
No, I won't let my heart give out
You said "don't let your breath run out"
No, I won't let my breath run out
Well, it's magical, your meaningless
Habitual, mundane excess
At it's best it's all the art of doubt
Doubt
Now we gotta take it upon ourselves
Next time the kick drum starts
Drag your mind from the gutter babe
All this isolation's sinister
So be kind to yourself
There will never be another you
There's just nobody else that's you

Title track del nuovo album dei Metric
Canzone sull'arte del dubbio e sul come il dubbio serva a salvarci dalle menzogne dei politici che spacciano la guerra come autodifesa.
More positive. I would say it’s the origin of science and the arts and poetry and everything we know—because we’ve questioned: What’s in the sky? What is the world made of? Doubt and questioning are the heart. That’s where all the good stuff happens.
[...]
You know, views are shifting all around the world and politicians are exploiting fear. So, in fact, it’s the opposite of doubt. It’s that they’re like exploiting a sort of arrogance or a sense of entitlement in people as opposed to a sense of looking and examining at the world realizing you’re just one part of it. I feel like the world is really in a questioning moment, but I think we could use a little more doubt that these leaders have our best interest in mind they’re scapegoating a certain group of people. I think that’s a good sign that somebody is full of shit. You know, they’re like: “I’m gonna scapegoat that guy and then cut taxes for another guy!”
