Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Why can't you just tell me the truth?

Hard to believe the things you say

Why can't you feel the tears I cry today?

Cry today, cry today

How do you win if we all lose?

You change the facts to justify

Your lips move but your words get in the way

In the way, in the way

[Verse 2]

Kings and queens, crooks and thieves

You don't see the forest for the trees

Head and heart on our knees

You can see what we all see

[Verse 3]

How do you sleep when the world keeps turnin'?

All that we built has come undone

How do you sleep when the world is burnin'?

Everyone answers to someone

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me

You lied to me

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me

You lied to me

[Verse 4]

You can build towers of bronze and gold

You can paint castles in the sky

You can use smoke and mirrors

Old cliches, not today

Not today

[Verse 5]

Kings and queens, crooks and thieves

You don't see the forest for the trees

Hand on heart, down on knees

You can see what everyone sees

[Verse 6]

How do you sleep when the world keeps turnin'?

All that we built has come undone

How do you sleep when the world is burnin'?

Everyone answers to someone

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me

You lied to me

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me

You lied to me

[Verse 7]

Can't you see I'm cryin'?

Can't you see we're I'm cryin'?

Where's the new horizon?

Where's the new horizon?

[Verse 8]

How do you sleep?

How do you sleep?

How do you sleep?

[Verse 9]

(How do you sleep when the world keeps turnin'?)

How do you sleep?

(All that we built has come undone)

And nothin's enough

(How do you sleep when the world keeps turnin'?)

How do you sleep?

(Everyone answers to someone)

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me

You lied to me

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me

You lied to me

Can't you see I'm cryin'?

(Can't you see we're cryin'?)

Can't you see we're cryin'?

[Verse 10]

Everyone answers to someone
