"Passive Voice"
Lyrics: 
"Passive Voice" is about avoiding culpability, 
using passive language to obscure responsibility. 
When you're little and you knock over the cookie jar, 
you say "Mama, the cookie jar fell over." 
There is cause and effect, 
and you have a choice. 
You can tell the whole truth or use the passive voice. 
"The cookie jar fell over" 
as opposed to 
"They knocked over the cookie jar."

Co-written by Best of the Left Podcast host Jay Tomlinson and Jonathan Mann, arranged and performed by Jonathan Mann (YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvj5S3f10rO6CoibatfRGzg).
