You can’t believe
in what you see
misdirection spin
leads you where they want you to be
you can’t break free
and you won’t try
you miss the evidence
shining right in front of your eyes
while your busy hearing what you want to hear
singing someone else’s tune
the lies that make you die
are messing up the world for you
while the truth is knocking at your door
and you don’t want to know
the lies that make you die
will go ahead and make it so
they promise more
and you get less
those with way too much
will never have to pass the test
you smile a lot
like you don’t care
resigned to your fate
you’re not going anywhere
while your busy hearing what you want to hear
singing someone else’s tune
the lies that make you die
are messing up the world for you
while the truth is knocking at your door
and you don’t want to know
the lies that make you die
will go ahead and make it so
