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.
