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 corporations roar[?] Disregarding 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
