lyrics

YOU LIE

How can you stand there saying you’ve got the good of us all in mind?
How can you stand there thinking that we’ll believe you?
When you’ve proven only your selfish interest and thought that we were blind.
Something in your words does not ring true.
Some take more than they need. Some give till they die.
And that’s the way of the world, I know, but why?

How can you not care about what happens to your children even if you couldn’t less about me?
How can you refuse to take in the larger picture? I can’t believe that you don’t see.
Some take more than they need. Some give till they die.
Where is a system in this world that isn’t built on lies? You lie.

I don’t believe you’re standing there telling us that everything is fine.
When it’s apparent Earth and her children are screaming.
Don’t you feel their pain in your heart? Or do you rationalize?
I keep hoping we’ll awake and find we’ve all been dreaming…
Some take more than they need. Some give till they die.
Why is the measure of our wealth- things- things to buy- THINGS to buy…

How can you stand there saying you’ve got the good of us all in mind?
How can you stand there thinking that we’ll believe you?
When you’ve proven only your selfish interest time after time
Something in your words does not ring true.
You lie. You lie. You lie.
