Lying Is the Society's New Trend
Verse I
One time or another we have lied
not realizing that lies show no guilt;
can they be hidden forever in us...
when others withdraw from us in doubt...
and point at the one who laughs aloud?
That pleasure is short-lived and dies!.
Chorus:
Lying is the society's new trend,
it's the god of our loveless age;
liars know how to build an image,
which can deceive and befriend.
Verse II
Has anyone noticed, that lying is the society's new trend?
The more people lie, the more they do gain in the end;
for that reason, honest and humble people don't advance
a bit; they don't give in but remain true to themselves.
Chorus:
Lying is the society's new trend,
it's the god of our loveless age;
liars know how to build an image,
which can deceive and befriend.
Verse III
Must I admit that I have lied to get
what I wanted when nobody seemed fair?
My temptation was a struggle never
outgrown, so more lies I had to invent.
Chorus:
Lying is the society's new trend,
it's the god of our loveless age;
liars know how to build an image,
which can deceive and befriend.
Verse IV
Lies show no guilt, no remorse...a hefty price
they carry; be ready to face their hurt and anger:
not being trusted for the words they won't hear...
make amends and apologize, reveal each ugly lie!
Ending:
Now folks see yourselves in the mirror,
wash that face of disgrace and horror.
