Because saying "the talk of politicians, the sentences of cynics, are the sentences of childhood - they're all talking shit to me" was clearly a bridge to far given the modern context.� Much safer to use the end of the second verse "well it makes no sense to me".� Its nothing more than self censorship.� Disappointing but completely predictable.
