Lies (That I Have Known) Songtext
von Patsy Moore

Higher education, Ventura Boulevard
The 1970s
Suburbia, the picket fence
The welfare state
Manifest Destiny
Pop music, pop culture
And pop psychology
Democrats, Republicans
More miles per gallon
Are you right wing or are you left wing?

Just a few icons I stumbled upon
On the path to real life, yeah

Lies
Pardon any negativity
These are just some of the lives that I have known
Lies
From a distance or with intimacy
These are just some of the lives that I have known
These are just some of the lives that I have known


Searching for the superior race
Violence as the road to change
He who dies with the most toys wins
Cannonball, the short hair Madonna
Boys who say the right words
Follow the crowd and you′ll be in
Hey sweetheart
Where have you been all my life?

Just a few icons I stumbled upon
On the path to reality, yeah

Lies
Pardon any negativity
These are just some of the lives that I have known
Lies
From a distance or with intimacy
These are just some of the lives that I have known

The voices are many, the glass is dark
And the street is crooked at best
And the lies weigh heavy on a fragile mind unless
It sees the Man who lived, the things He taught
Being nailed to a crudely fashioned tree
Looking down at a world too lost to know
That the only thing worth knowing
Is He endured those nails for you and me
That's the only truth I′ve ever known
