Everybody Lies

Well, they say that every dog must have its day And to hell with anyone who's in the way And they'll say that all your proof is just a fraction of the truth 'Cause everybody lies They'll tell you pride will come before a fall And no wall can survive the wrecking ball But like the twisting of a knife No lie will save your life When everything's a case of do or die Lie, lie, lie Everybody lies, lies, lies Underneath us, earth is shaking From the mess that we're creating Oh, it's all a pack of lies We bring back empty buckets from the well Spray perfume on the most disgusting smell Split the colours and the classes Spread this bullshit to the masses 'Til reality is just an empty shell And don't get me started on the greed People buying all the things that they don't need Pet rocks and great big yachts It's the goths and they ain't gots Kissing all of common sense goodbye (I'm gonna play my guitar) (Okay) (Yeah, that's great, whoo!) (Come on, yeah, alright) One day we'll meet our maker and he'll say "You only told the truth by inches, every day" Oh, but God it proved so hard So I embellished by a yard Everybody does it, by the way And God will strike us down, we'll go to hell But down there we'll all get on so very well 'Cause we'll be sharing porky pies With the very bestest liars While we roast away upon the funeral pyre Oh lies, lies, lies Everybody lies, lies, lies Underneath us, earth is shaking It's foundations we've been faking As we create another stinker, to placate a penny pincher Falling in hook, line, and sinker Shouting, "Hey, look, I'm a winner!" If I deny, deny, deny, deny, deny
