We Lie To Kids
We lie to children as we teach them not to lie
a man in a red suit and his reindeer fly the sky
that chocolate egg was delivered by a bunny
and we don’t say how the baby got into mummy
A tooth fairy left them money in the night
you have to admit we say all sorts of shight
But as they grow, they learn, realise the truth,
soaking up knowledge of how the world works,
as adults they know you bull hit the youth,
and be fake superficial dishonest jerks.
As a child it’s called reality,
as an adult it’s called insanity,
but we allow the kids to have this magic,
because we know their teenage years will be tragic
