Well i'm reading this poem |
|
And it's so profound |
|
And i like its rhythm |
|
And i like its sound |
|
It's by a very famous poet |
|
No critic can criticise |
|
And then i pause a moment |
|
And i start to realize |
|
He's tellin' |
|
Lies lies lies |
|
On the motel tv. |
|
I dig the evangelist |
|
He'll tell you all about that |
|
And then he tell you all about this |
|
He's preachin' up a storm |
|
By the sea of galilee |
|
He's mixin' up the truth |
|
With something funny i start to see |
|
He's tellin' |
|
Lies lies lies |
|
I never had this problem |
|
With nobody in the government |
|
I guess i always figured |
|
They never mean what they meant |
|
And god help us all |
|
Not to be so stone surprised |
|
When we wake up in the stars |
|
With the skies in our eyes |
|
If we keep tellin' |
|
Lies lies lies |
