Going Live Action
And yet it was reported clear as day
Headline story
Live on the 9 o'clock news
For all and sundry to hear
So it must be true
Because you couldn't make it up
Could you
As it's getting ever and ever harder
to tell the truth now days
As even the people we are told and
supposed to trust appear to spin
and weave the greatest lies of all
Without seemingly ever getting caught
out or having to account for them
at all
Even in court hand on bible before
god as a witness and child's lives
at stake
Willing to undergo a lie detector test
Because to them the truth is merely
circumstantial and doesn't necessarily
have to based on actual facts
Because that would just be boring and
doesn't justify an end
