And dreams seem so old
How many lies must we tell?
Or believe the TV and the Times?
We're going up above
So when they write the book
But you know that lies are the cancer of democracy
Do you read through the lines
Just come on along with me
And leave truth as the casualty?
Protect me from all those mighty storms
With our hands on our hearts
So look at us now just look at us now
With our hands on our hearts
How many times must we say it's for the best?
Well it's your freedom of choice
How many lies must we see?
If there's truth in our hearts
And make believe all when you cry wolf
How many lies must we see?
How many lies must we tell?
And the lies you're giving me
How many times must we say it's for the best?
Maybe we can break free
Well if you're head is steady
Fiction's what you wanna be
You keep me so warm
Where can we find more ways to see?
How many times must we say it's for the best?
How many lies must we see?
You strain on the truth
And lines on our brow
You've painted your face
How many lies must we tell?
How many lies must we see?
And lines on our brow
How many times must we say it's for the best?
And now you're ready and armed with love
So whatever you wanna be
And leave truth as the casualty?
And leave truth as the casualty?
And now you've tainted your words
And leave truth as the casualty?
So look at us now just look at us now
How many times must we say it's for the best?
Oh well the truth is hard
Everything shared, everything told
And your soul is ready
How many lies must we tell?
