Teach Me To Lie I'M Tired of the Truth

Teach me to lie; lies are rich And truth wallows in poverty within Teach me to lie; lies are jolly And truth is engulfed with pain and grief Teach me to lie, with it there is justice With truth,... I'll die with the injustices speared at me Teach me to lie; lies are obese And truth,.... you can see my emaciated bones and soul Teach me to lie; lies are warm And truth... am freezing in the never ending cold Teach me to lie; lies are clothed And truth I'm naked..no dignity to withhold Teach me to lie,am tired of The truth Please teach me to lie,am so tired of the truth But the bitter truth is balm for the soul The sweet smelling aroma of something not foul The promises of milk and honey in heaven I'll be full So I will wait, I will love my fragile bones, I will shiver in the cold I will remain unclothed. I will raise myself with no nanny Trust in God my only Daddy He said when the sun shines on the rich, even to me it will be sunny.
