The Lie! - Dave Davies

They stripped away my innocence and left me here to die

In this sad, cold realization, there are no more tears to cry

But I still believe in miracles 'cause that’s all I had before

And I ain’t gonna take your promises no more

They stretched the Earth’s resources and built a funeral pyre

Through the smoke the children wonder 'neith the stark and shattered sky

There is no hope or reason while the cooperations roar

Disreguarding truth and sacred law

Can’t you see we’re living in the lie?

I believed without a question why

Can’t you see we’re living in the lie?

I believe, controlling all we think and see and do

We’re living a lie

We’re living a lie

They’ll steal away your brightest dreams, just leaving hollow soles

To wander in this city’s grime without a hope or home

The devil plays is final hand, the battle now begins

But no one without true love will ever win

Can’t you see we’re living in the lie?

I believed without a question why

Can’t you see we’re living in the lie

I believe, controlling all we think and see and do

Oh can’t you see we’re living in the lie?

I believed without a question why

Oh can’t you see we’re living in the lie?

I believe, controlling all we see and think and do

We’re living a lie

We’re living a lie

We’re living a lie
