The Lie

BE SUITED CITY DULLARDS
TURN THEIR COATS & SHOW THEIR COLOURS
BUY FERRARIS’ YACHTS & MANSIONS AT CUT PRICE
REALITY TV TRAUMAS
WHERE INEPT Z LIST PERFORMERS
SELL THEIR SOULS ON PRIME TIME
TO KEEP YOU OCCUPIED

THE STRANDS AND RIBBONS OF DECEIT
UNRAVEL LYING AT YOUR FEET
THE TRUTH IS OUT I HEARD SOMEBODY CRY
THEY PUT A PRICE ON EVERYTHING
A MESSED UP WORLD WHERE MONEY’S KING
THERE’S NO RESTRICTIONS
ON THE THINGS IT BUYS
BUT THAT WELL IS RUNNING DRY

STOCK EXCHANGE REPTILIANS
SCREAM & SHOUT & PLAY WITH BILLIONS
THAT MOST OF US CAN’T EVEN COMPREHEND
THEY’RE GAMBLING WITH YOUR SAVINGS
JUST TO SATISFY THEIR CRAVINGS
TO GREED AND LUST & POWER
THERE SEEMS NO END

THE STRANDS AND RIBBONS OF DECEIT
UNRAVEL LYING AT YOUR FEET
THE TRUTH IS OUT I HEARD SOMEBODY CRY
THEY PUT A PRICE ON EVERYTHING
A FUCKED UP WORLD WHERE DOLLAR’S KING
THERE’S NO RESTRICTIONS
ON THE THINGS IT BUYS
BUT THAT WELL IS RUNNING DRY

FOUR WEEKS OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOUR
A FEW MORE YEARS AND GOD MIGHT SAVE YA
WHEN YOU’VE WORKED YOUR WAY
IN TO AN EARLY GRAVE
DISEASE BECOMES RESISTANT &
FREE HEALTH CARE NON EXISTENT
BUREAUCRACY JUST BURIES ITS MISTAKES

THE STRANDS AND RIBBONS OF DECEIT
UNRAVEL LYING AT YOUR FEET
THE TRUTH IS OUT I HEARD SOMEBODY CRY
AUTOMATED PROGRESS
IN A WORLD THAT’S BECOME SOULLESS
WHERE’S THE VALUES THAT WE USED TO ALL APPLY
YOUR FREEDOM IT’S A LIE
YOUR FREEDOM IT’S A LIE
YOUR FREEDOM IT’S A LIE
YOUR FREEDOM IT’S A LIE
