I've got no politics, no influential friend or two I've got ideas, but it's nothin' I picked up at school I might be running, but I'm never running back to you
And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie
I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by You've got no power and my situation don't apply You ask me how I am, I lie and say, "I'm doing fine"
And with your sugar-sweetened alibi, there was a truth I never knew And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming back to you
String of lies, it's always compromise with you String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you
And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply And anything you're gonna tell me, it's just another lie
String of lies, we always compromise for you String of lies, you know there's nothing better to do String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you String of lies, we always compromise for you
