Once there were times,
once there were reasons
filled with rhymes
Everything shared,
everything told
You keep me so warm,
protect me from all
those mighty storms
And dreams seem so old
So look at us now, just
look at us now
With our hands on our
hearts, and lines on our
brow
How many lies must we
tell?
How many lies must we
see?
How many times must we
say, it's for the best?
And leave truth as the
casualty?
Do you read through the
lines, or believe the TV
and the Times?
Where can we find more
ways to see?
You strain on the truth,
and make believe all
when you cry wolf
And the lies you're
giving me
So look at us now, just
look at us now
With our hands on our
hearts, and lines on our
brow
How many lies must we
tell?
How many lies must we
see?
How many times must we
say, it's for the best?
And leave truth as the
casualty?
Ohhhhh
Well, the truth is hard,
so when they write the
book
Fiction's what you wanna
be
It's your freedom of
choice, but you know
that lies, are the
cancer of democracy
You've painted your
face, and now you've
tainted your words
And now you're ready and
armed with love
Well if you're head is
steady, and your soul is
ready
We're going up above
So whatever you wanna be
just come on along with
me
If there's truth in our
hearts, maybe we can
break free
How many lies must we
tell?
How many lies must we
see?
How many times must we
say, it's for the best?
And leave truth as the
casualty?
How many lies must we
tell?
How many lies must we
see?
How many times must we
say, it's for the best?
And leave truth as the
casualty?
How many times must we
say, it's for the best?
And leave nothing, yeah
