Lies, All Lies

I've always proudly worn my pride On the fact that I was right Could it be perhaps that I was wrong On most of what I knew In everything I do Heaven forbid, perish the thought It hurts more than you know When you find out you've been told Over time a hefty share of lies Just to keep you in the dark Of who and what they are The ones on top who wear a thin disguise They like you where you are Kept tight in a jar Keeps the focus off their slight of hand So they can do their tricks Without you knowing it Whether they're on the Right or Left If you think you know What all is going on You might want to sit down and think twice That what you think is true Might be you without a clue Whether it's coming from the Left or Right
