The Replacements - Asking Me Lies lyrics

rate me

Summoned through a keyhole

In a lunchbox for three

Take me to your followers

And the swingset police

You can't see the weather

You've got to pull the blinds

Tellin' you questions

Askin' me lies

Well the rich are gettin' richer

And the poor are gettin' drunk

In a black and white picture

There's a lot of grey bunk

Man, you're hittin' them books

And hittin' their streets

Won't be hard to find

Tellin' you questions

Askin' me lies

Happy birthday

Whosever birthday it is today

Born yesterday

It's a wonder you're still alive

And they're tellin' you questions

And they're askin' me lies

Little Boy Zoo

An' the rock with his helpful friends

Butterfly train

Never ends, never ends

At a Mexican Bar Mitzvah

For seven hundred years

The selfish pray

You're gonna drive right by/live live

Tellin' me lies

And they're askin' me lies

Tellin' you questions

Askin' me lies

Happy birthday

Whosever birthday it is today

All the sex spit in it

gone down on this fight

Tellin' you questions

Askin' me lies

They're telling you questions

And they're asking me lies

Telling you questions

And they're asking me lies

Askin' me lies

Lies

Lies...
