Lyrics
Lies
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.
You read the paper, watch the news and think
Your well informed
I've got some new for you my frienf
That headline that you read, the story that broke
Was a scandle and a scam, a political master stroke
They tell you what they want you to hear
So close your eyes and open your ears
It's easier that way when you don't have to
Think for your self you say
I tell you no lies
I read it all in black and white
It was on my TV - they were telling me just what to believe
I tell you no lies - all the while they're tellin you lies
Everyday you and me, we see what we are shown
It's hard to scratch below
The people at the top, are hidden far from veiw
They're not goin to show their faces
To the likes of me and you
You never see them on the street
Always see the things that they do
They know they can get away and no price is too
High for them to pay
I tell you no lies.
It's very simple it's in black and white
It's on your TV - we got every thing you need to believe
I tell you no lies - and all the while they are telling you lies
