Lies Lyrics

Lies lyrics

Well I'm reading this poem 

 and it's so profound 

 and I like its rhythm 

 and I like its sound 

 it's by a very famous poet 

 no critic can criticise 

 and then I pause a moment 

 and I start to realize 

 he's tellin' 

 lies lies lies 

 on the motel TV. 

 I dig the evangelist 

 he'll tell you all about that 

 and then he tell you all about this 

 he's preachin' up a storm 

 by the sea of Galilee 

 he's mixin' up the truth 

 with something funny I start to see 

 he's tellin' 

 lies lies lies 

 I never had this problem 

 with nobody in the government 

 I guess I always figured 

 they never mean what they meant 

 and GOD help us all 

 not to be so stone surprised 

 when we wake up in the stars 

 with the skies in our eyes 

 if we keep tellin' 

 lies lies lies
