Paid to Lie - Juliana Hatfield

Get on the party bus

Faking a good time

Suffer the little people

All the way to the end of the line

You can call a spade a knife

But anyone can see you’re paid to lie

The rich get richer

And the sick get sicker

There’s so much to be denied

The checks get bigger

And the tricks get cheaper

Now you’re messing with the gaslight

What did you see

And what did you sign

You can call a spade a knife

But anyone can see you’re paid to lie

On and on and on

The con you run

Altering history

Making it all so hard to believe

You can call a spade a knife

But true is true and you lie
