Lyrics

Once upon a time
When I was young
There were lies that I was told
That I could have been an astronaut
And reach for the stars if I tried
Can you believe
I used to think life was such a dream
I wonder when disillusionment
Came and settled in
To your lies
You told me lies, lies
Papa told lies, lies,
Hmm
How is it fair
I’ve got all these degrees and still
Have to beg for a job
You said I could be anything
If I worked myself enough
But here I am in all this time
Without anything to show
But your lies
You told me lies, lies
Mama told lies, lies,
So many lies, lies
Lies yeah, lies
Hmm lies, lies
Lies, lies
Lies, lies
(Mama told)
Lies (Papa told) Lies
(Mama told)
Lies (Papa told), lies
(Mama told)
Lies (Papa told) lies
Lies, lies…
