Waiting for the Lie

Tactical compliments

Time honoured systems of touch

Methods of self preservation

To escape when it all gets too much

These are the games that we play

While we're waiting for the lie

These are the games that we play

While we're waiting for the lie

Literal armament

I'll stick to my stones

We imagine the shape of the danger

And decide that we're better off alone

These are the things that we say

While we're waiting for the lie

These are the things that we say

While we're waiting for the lie

When you find that you've nowhere to hide

We're all waiting for the lie

The truth is so undignified

We're all waiting for the lie

We all carry the guilt

We're all waiting for the lie

When you know you'll be breaking their heart

We're all waiting for the lie

The deception is part of the art

We're all waiting for the lie

When it's time to apportion the blame

We're all waiting for the lie

The excuses will all be the same

We're all waiting for the lie

Whenever the government speaks

We're all waiting for the lie

Instead of the truth we should seek

We're all waiting for the lie

Whenever you open your mouth

We're all waiting for the lie

Without any shadow of doubt

We're all waiting for the lie

These are the things, the things that we say

These are the things, the things that we say
