Artist: The Waifs Album: A Brief History (2004) Title: Lies
Lyrics LiesYou read the paper, watch the news and think You're well informed I've got some news for you my friend That headline that you read, the story that broke Was a scandal and a scam, a political masterstroke 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 yourself 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 |
