Lyrics The Jayhawks

The Jayhawks

Lies in Black & White

Picked up the afternoon paper

And went leafing through the local news when i

Saw all the false accusations

About the situation we allegedly had been through

Those lies, lies in black and white

Then I tuned into the station

And I listened to my favorite deejay play

He spoke of rumors and opinions

As the backlash grew

All they thought they knew were lies, lies in black and white

There's two sides to every coin

Keep telling yours you just might begin to believe it

You're laboring in the vacuum

I never felt at ease with you in the room

You're still squeezing the very last drop of juice

From the rotting fruit

While all you spew are lies, lies in black and white

There's two sides to every coin

Keep telling yours you just might begin to believe it

I see a man in a whisper

Your words are twisted bitter

You duplicitous quitter

You once said "you'd make a good christian"

I laughed "how would you know?"

With your hate in tow

And your lies, lies in black and white

Lies in black and white
