Lyrics

The lie is worth more
Than the liar
The smoke is worth more
Than the fire

What we don’t know
Just might hurt us
What they won’t show

Talking heads talk
But we don’t listen
Partisan squawks
Is all we’re missin’

Don’t tell me lies
Don’t tell me all these lies

Everyone has a point of view
They claim it’s the truth, if only we knew
Whose talking points are they reading today?
Who’s telling them what words they should say

Actions speak louder
But they’re just shouting
They swear it’s the truth
I’m still doubting

Rather not see them
Rather they’d clam up
If you can’t get the story
Don’t put a sham up

What we don’t know
Just might hurt us
What they won’t show

They’ve got an agenda
To dump on you
They couldn’t care less
Whether it’s true

Everyone has a point of view
They claim it’s the truth, if only we knew
Whose talking points are they reading today?
Who’s telling them what words they should say

The lie is worth more
Than the liar
The smoke is worth more
Than the fire

What we don’t know
Just might hurt us
What they won’t show

They’re not that smart
They’re not that clever
If they won’t tell the truth
Turn them off forever

Don’t tell me lies
Don’t tell me all these lies
