Lies Lyrics
(Hey mama hey mama hey ma they lie) x 3
You read the paper, watch the news
And you think you're well informed
Well, I've got some news for you, my friend--
That headline that you read, the story that broke
It was a scandal - yeah a scam
A political masterstroke
Tell you what they you want you to hear--
Close your eyes and open your ears!
It's easier that way
'Cause you don't have to think for yourself
(Chorus)
You said, "Hey, I tell no lies, I tell no lies!
Because I read it all in black and white!
It was on my TV; yeah, they were telling me just what to believe...
Yeah, I tell no lies, I tell no lies"
And all the while they're tellin' you lies
Everyday, you and me; we see what we are shown
It can be hard to scratch below
There are people at the top, they are hidden far from view
They're not going to show their faces to the likes of me and you
You never see them on the street
But you'll always see the things that they do
Yes, they can get away

No price is too high for them to pay
Chorus
Oh Lies lies lies (lies lies lies) x3
(Hey mama hey mama hey ma they lie) x 8
And all the while they're tellin' you lies
