Things Are Not What They Appear

Things are not what they appear

Starting with a mother's love

When a helping hand comes near

It becomes an empty glove

Things are not what they appear

Starting with your hopes and dreams

Just one thing in life is clear:

Nothing's ever what it seems

Even babies lie

Even babies lie

And the stars don't cry

Nothing's ever what it seems

People lie from ear to ear

Just to help their little teams

Which are not what they appear

We are wrong to begin with

Even if we are sincere

Truth is just a useful myth

Things are not what they appear

Even babies steal

Even babies steal

And the stars don't squeal

Even babies kill

Even babies kill

And the stars are...still
