Lyrics

Lies

[Intro]

Ooooo

Oh yeah

[Verse 1]

I'm eating breakfast with the fascists

Oh man, they stand about 10 feet tall

My mouth is bleeding

At their proceeding

They get their courage through a plastic straw

So codependent and all defendants

They're only working for a town to be clear

Life is pretending that it was something

They tell me only what I want to hear

[Chorus]

Lies lies

That they told me

Lies lies

They control me

[Verse 2]

Champagne and victories caked in mysteries

Are you sure you wanna feel that old yet?

I'm at the wedding of what's offending

Do you know me even though we haven't met?

[Chorus]

Lies lies

That they told me

Lies lies

They control me

[PostChorus]

Lies lies

They adore me

Aw yeah

Lies

[Guitar Solo]
