Violent Femmes

Lies

Well I'm readin' this poem

And it's so profound

And I, I like it's rhythm

And I, I like it's sound

By a very famous poet

No critic can criticise him

And then I, I pause a moment

And I start to realize

He's tellin'

Lies, lies, lies, lies

Lies, lies, lies, lies

Lies, lies, lies, lies

Lies, lies, lies

On the motel T.V.

I dig the evangelist

He tell y'all about that

And then he tell y'all about this

He's preachin' up a storm

By the sea of Galilee

He's mixin' up the truth

With somethin' funny, I start to see

He's tellin'

Lies, lies, lies, lies

Lies, lies, lies, lies

Lies, lies, lies, lies

Lies, lies, lies

Well I've never had this problem

Nobody in the Government

I guess I always figured it

They never mean what they meant

And God help us all

Not to be so stone surprised

When we wake up in the stars

With the skies in our eyes

If we keep tellin'

Lies, lies, lies, lies

Lies, lies, lies, lies

Lies, lies, lies, lies

Lies, lies, lies

Oh no

Oh no

I brought it to the end of the song

And we didn't get a chance to jam

Oh no

Here we go
