You're so full of shhhhallow intensions, con artist, politician Hand behind your back with your fingers crossed Lip sync and the singers lost Car dealer, attorney at law, crooked cop, infomercial will get us all Money under the table makes me #1, deception takes me from the sun Professional athlete, the rabbi, the reverend and the priest you're taking the bait that's hooking fast Let's look into the looking glass
Mother should've been more honest Father should've told the truth The lies my teacher taught me, set a trap for me and caught me A room full of strangers, surrounded by liars In a room full of Loved ones, surrounded by liars In a room full of enemies, surrounded by liars In a room full of mirrors, surrounded by liars
Waiting for St. Nicholas to arrive, live inconspicuous through the lies Try to make a connection, a rabbit for the resurrection And as I watch the evening news, who's the better liar to choose Who's going to feed me good fiction, who's going to kill my suspicion Inveracity is just the axiom in disguise Continue to pull the wool over my eyes
Mother should've been more honest Father should've told the truth The lies my teacher taught me, set a trap for me and caught me A room full of strangers, surrounded by liars In a room full of Loved ones, surrounded by liars In a room full of enemies, surrounded by liars In a room full of mirrors, surrounded by liars
Such a misguided life we lead of what and what not to believe Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive At the library, where they bury the lies watching the tell-lie-vision, where the untruth is televised
Mother should've been more honest Father should've told the truth The lies my teacher taught me, set a trap for me and caught me A room full of strangers, surrounded by liars In a room full of Loved ones, surrounded by liars In a room full of enemies, surrounded by liars In a room full of mirrors, surrounded by liars
