Lies

Lies break so much trust Lies break so much love Yet lies we tolerate each day From government and media We are brought up being spoon fed lies Yet we accept this because we refuse to buy Into this believing that these people would not do that But smaller lies we tell each other that don’t have the same impact Rip big holes in people’s lives Causes bitterness, hate and makes us cry Yet we ignore and accept on a daily basis great big lives That distract and misinterpret lives Lies on war, and consumer ****, Lies about the universe and reality Lies about history but it don’t upset us one bit When you should be devastated Because you believe this existence to be reality So you accept this life of suffering You buy into this life of power and greed And when you’re laying on your deathbed You’ll realise money don’t mean a thing It just affected your ability to be happy And enjoy the love and light And to see the truth Which is everything you experienced was a lie And you were fooled.
