When The Lies So Big Lyrics by Frank Zappa

When The Lies So Big Lyrics

    They got lies so big
    They don't make a noise
    They tell 'em so well
    Like a secret disease
    That makes you go numb

    With a big ol' lie
    And a flag and a pie
    And a mom and a bible
    Most folks are just liable
    To buy any line
    Any place, any time

    When the lie's so big
    As in Robertson's case,
    (That sinister face
    Behind all the Jesus hurrah)

    Could result in the end
    To a worrisome trend
    In which every American
    Not 'born again'
    Could be punished in cruel and unusual ways
    By this treacherous cretin
    Who tells everyone
    That he's Jesus' best friend

    When the lie's so big
    And the fog gets so thick
    And the facts disappear
    The Republican Trick
    Can be played out again
    People, please tell me when
    We'll be rid of these men!

    Just who do they really
    Suppose that they are?
    And how did they manage to travel as far
    As they seem to have come?
    Were we really that dumb?

    People, wake up
    Figure it out
    Religious fanatics
    Around and about
    The Court House, The State House,
    The Congress, The White House

    Criminal saints
    With a 'Heavenly Mission' --
    A nation enraptured
    By pure superstition

    When the lie's so big
    And the fog gets so thick
    And the facts disappear
    The Republican Trick
    Can be played out again
    People, please tell me when
    We'll be rid of these men!
