Waifs - Lies lyrics

rate me

(Hey mama hey mama hey ma they lie) x 3<br />

<br />

You read the paper, watch the news<br />

And you think you're well informed<br />

Well I got some news for you my friend<br />

<br />

That headline that you read<br />

The story that broke<br />

It was a scandal - yeah a scam<br />

Political masterstroke<br />

Tell you what they you want you to hear<br />

Close your eyes and open your ears<br />

<br />

(It's easy), yes it's easier that way<br />

(cause you don't) cause you don't have to think for yourself<br />

You said hey I tell no lies, I tell no lies<br />

Because I read it all in black and white<br />

It was on my TV yeah they were telling me just what to believe<br />

Yeah I tell no lies, I tell no lies<br />

And all the while they're tellin' you lies<br />

(hey mama hey, mey ma they lie) x 10<br />

<br />

Everyday you and me, we see what we are shown<br />

Yes it can be hard to scratch below<br />

There are people at the top, they are hidden far from view<br />

They're not gonna show their faces to the likes of me and you<br />

You never see them on the street, <br />

But you'll always see the things that they do.<br />

<br />

(yes they know) yes they can get away<br />

(no price) no price is too high for them to pay<br />

<br />

Yeah I tell no lies, I tell no lies it's very simple, yeah it's in black and white and it's on your TV oh we got everything you need to believe<br />

Hey I tell no lies, I tell no lies, I know why they're telling lies<br />

Why they're telling you lies<br />

And all the while they're tellin' you lies<br />

<br />

Oh Lies lies lies (lies lies lies) x3<br />

(Hey mama hey mama hey ma they lie) x 8<br />

And all the while they're tellin' you lies.
