Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You told me you loved me, so I don't understand
Why promises are snapped in two, and words are made to bend
The bigger, the better, some stolen from Japan
Collected from around the world, they'll catch you if they can
[Verse 2]
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
[Verse 3]
Do I have to catch you out to know what's on your mind
Well, Cleopatra died for Egypt, what a waste of time
White ones and red ones, and some you can't disguise
Twisted truth and half the news, can't hide it in your eyes
[Verse 4]
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
[Verse 5]
You say you'll try harder, but I think it's just too late
Well, the car is revving in the drive and I'm not the sort to wait
The bigger, the better, some nicked from old Saigon
Collected from around the world, love lies on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and
[Verse 6]
Lies, lies, lies, yeah (They're gonna get you)
Lies, lies, lies, yeah (They won't forget you
Lies, lies, lies, yeah (They're gonna get you)
Lies, lies, lies, yeah (Oh, you know I know)
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah (Oh, you know I know)
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
Lies, lies, lies, yeah
