Once there were times
|
Once there were reasons filled with rhymes
|
Everything shared, everything told
|
You keep me so warm
|
Protect me from all those mighty storms
|
|
And dreams seem so old
|
So look at us now just look at us now
|
With our hands on our hearts
|
And lines on our brow
|
|
How many lies must we tell?
|
How many lies must we see?
|
How many times must we say it's for the best?
|
And leave truth as the casualty?
|
|
Do you read through the lines
|
Or believe the TV and the Times?
|
Where can we find more ways to see?
|
You strain on the truth
|
|
And make believe all when you cry wolf
|
And the lies you're giving me
|
So look at us now just look at us now
|
With our hands on our hearts
|
And lines on our brow
|
|
How many lies must we tell?
|
How many lies must we see?
|
How many times must we say it's for the best?
|
And leave truth as the casualty?
|
|
Oh well the truth is hard
|
So when they write the book
|
Fiction's what you wanna be
|
Well it's your freedom of choice
|
But you know that lies are the cancer of democracy
|
|
You've painted your face
|
And now you've tainted your words
|
And now you're ready and armed with love
|
Well if you're head is steady
|
And your soul is ready
|
|
We're going up above
|
So whatever you wanna be
|
Just come on along with me
|
If there's truth in our hearts
|
Maybe we can break free
|
|
How many lies must we tell?
|
How many lies must we see?
|
How many times must we say it's for the best?
|
And leave truth as the casualty?
|
|
How many lies must we tell?
|
How many lies must we see?
|
How many times must we say it's for the best?
|
And leave truth as the casualty?
|
How many times must we say it's for the best?
|
And leave nothing yeah
