Spreading A Lie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And time goes by
they live the way
In such poverty
Life's a game
Some people say
the country is free
where all the races
can live in peace
The men in press, who tell the truth
report the facts sometimes ain't true
this makes things a lot worse
Living that way won't have peace
How can some people say for them there's no difference
if most of their people are poor
And some say they treat'em equal
While time magazine prints an article on blacks who succeeded
Why such a few?
This ain't the way I wish it was
But I don't know why they spread a lie
Inside, everybody knows
But I don't know why they spread a lie
And time goes by
they live the way
In such poverty
Life's a game
Some people say
the world is free
where all the races
can live in peace
This ain't the way I wish it was
But I don't know why they spread a lie
Inside, everybody knows
But I don't know why they spread a lie
This ain't the way I wish it was
But I don't know why they spread a lie
