Once there were times
Once there were reasons filled with rhymes
Everything shared, everything told
You kept me so warm
Protected from all those mighty storms
And dreams seemed so bold
So look at us now
Just look at us now
With our hands on our hearts
And our lives on the prowl
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 the truth as the casualty?
You read through the lines
Of belief, the TV, and the times
Where can we find more ways to see?
You strain on truth
And make believe 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 our lives on the prowl
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 the truth as the casualty?
Oh well, the truth is hard
So when you write the book, fiction's what you want to be
Well, it's your freedom of choice
But you know that lies are the cancer of democracy
You paint your face and now you taint your words
And now you're ready and armed with love
Well, if your head is steady and your soul is ready
You're going up above
So whatever you want to be
Just come along with me
If there's truth in your heart
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 the 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 the truth as the casualty?
