Lies Lyrics by Violent Femmes

Lies Lyrics

    Well i'm reading this poem
    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
