First day with the jar 
You find 
Everyone lies 
First day with the jar 
You find 
Everyone lies, nobody minds 

Everyone lies 
Where is the man you respect? 
And where is the woman you love? 
Where's the woman you love? 

Third week with the jar
You find 
Everything dies 
We won't vote Conservative 
Because we never have 

Everyone lies, everyone lies 
Where is the man you respect? 
And where is the woman you love? 
Where's the woman you love? 

Everything of worth 
On Earth 
Is there 
To share 

I used to dream, and I used to vow 
I wouldn't dream of it now 
We look to Los Angeles 
For the language we use 
London is dead, London is dead 
London is dead, London is dead 
London is dead, London is dead 
Now I'm too much in love 
I'm too much in love 

I know 
I'll go 
Empty hand 
From the land
