VIOLENT FEMMES lyrics : "Lies"

and it's so profound
and I like its rhythm
and I like its sound

it's by a very famous poet
no critic can criticise
and then I pause a moment

and I start to realize
he's tellin'
lies lies lies

on the motel TV.
I dig the evangelist
he'll tell you all about that

and then he tell you all about this
he's preachin' up a storm
by the sea of Galilee

he's mixin' up the truth
with something funny I start to see
he's tellin'

lies lies lies
I never had this problem
with nobody in the government

I guess I always figured
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
