Once there were times,Once there were reasons filled with rhymes,Everything shared, everything toldYou keep me so wa
rm,Protect me from all those mighty stormsAnd dreams seem so oldSo look at us now, just look at us now,With our hands on ou
r heartsAnd lines on our browHow many lies must we tell?How many lies must we see?How many times must we say, it's for the
best?And leave truth as the casualty?Do you read through the lines,Or believe the TV and the Times?Where can we find more w
ays to see?You strain on the truth,And make believe all when you cry wolf,And the lies you're giving meSo look at us now, j
ust look at us now,With our hands on our heartsAnd lines on our browHow many lies must we tell?How many lies must we see?H
ow many times must we say, it's for the best?And leave truth as the casualty?Oh, well the truth is hard,So when they write t
he book,Fiction's what you wanna beWell, it's your freedom of choice,But you know that lies, are the cancer of democracyYou
've painted your face,And now you've tainted your wordsAnd now you're ready and armed with loveWell if you're head is steady
,And your soul is ready,We're going up aboveSo whatever you wanna be,Just come on along with me,If there's truth in our he
arts,Maybe we can break freeHow many lies must we tell?How many lies must we see?How many times must we say, it's for the b
est?And leave truth as the casualty?How many lies must we tell?How many lies must we see?How many times must we say, it's f
or the best?And leave truth as the casualty? -acap
