The Lies (A Duet)

The Lies (A Duet)

Everybody’s selling me nothing. 

It's the story of my life. 

If you think that one doors shutting, 

There's another one opening wide. 

People always telling me something, 

They be calling it advice. 

All I hear is hum-hum-humming. 

But I be listening to their eyes. 

Peeps are always telling lies. 

They cross their hearts,  

And hope to die, 

They'll stick ten needles, 

In their eye. 

Peeps will always lie.

People say 'I'm telling the truth',

But the lie is what they just said.

They think they get away with it,

But they couldn't lie in bed.

And when you ask them to tell the truth,

Their look could knock you dead,

And they'll turn their nose up at you and say,

'The truth is what I said'.

People are always telling lies.

They cross their hearts,

And hope to die.

They'll eat a rancid,

Rabbit pie.

People always lie.

Peeps can be crazy, 

Peeps can be so mean. 

Some will slice your throat for coin. 

Some will do it for free.

People are scary,

People are strange.

Some are too organised,

And some madly deranged.

Some would kill their mothers.

And some would sleep with them too!

Is there anybody nice in this world?

Yeah man, but only me and you!

People are always telling lies.

They cross their hearts,

And hope to die.

Cut their legs off,

At the thigh.

Peeps will always lie.

People always lie.

Always lie.
