The Lie!.......... Songtext
von Dave Davies

They stripped away my innocence
And left me here to die
In the sad cold realization
There are no more tears to cry
But I still believe in miracles
′Cause that's all I had before
And I ain′t gonna take your promises no more

They stretched the earth's resources
And built a funeral pyre
Through the smoke, the children wonder
'Neath the stark and shattered sky
There is no hope or reason
While the corporations roar
Disregarding truth and sacred law


Can′t you see?
We′re living in the lie
I believe
Without a question why
Can't you see?
We′re living in the lie
I believe
Controlling all we think and see and do
We're living a lie
We′re living a lie

They'll steal away your brightest dreams
Just leaving hollow souls
To wander in the city′s grime
Without a hope or home
The devil plays his final hand
The battle now begins
But no one without true love will ever win


Can't you see?
We're living in the lie
I believe
Without a question why
Can′t you see?
We′re living in the lie
I believe
Controlling all we think and see and do
Oh, can't you see?
We′re living in the lie
I believe
Without a question why
Oh, can't you see?
We′re living in the lie
I believe
Controlling all we see and think and do
We're living a lie
We′re living a lie
We're living a lie
