Lies, lies, using lies as alibis Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise It's the same game Played in so many ways Everyone is the victim too It's just a waste of time Made for simple minds So why do people insist on lies I'll give my life a different way Refuse to let myself become a victim Getting caught you in a vicious web of lies, they can hurt you And destroy you, you watch out for lies, just a devil in disguise Lies, lies, using lies as alibis Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise The nation's leaders as well as teachers Practice lies as a way of lie, yes they do So think before you speak Cause what you sow you reap The truth will always come to light Will we ever learn one day That telling lies always bring to matters Misery and sometimes pain Lies, lies, using lies as alibis Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise Lies, lies, using lies as alibis Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise Lies, lies, using lies as alibis Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise Lies, lies, using lies as alibis Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise Lies and deceit Yes it's running real rampant Communities suffering, yo I can't stand it When we think of lies we tend to think of politicians But what about the husband who's on a mission Lying to his wife so he can get it on and get some Coming back home with a dumb expression Written on a face that he's guilty as a criminal It's time to change your attitude People do you hear me, don't listen To a funky rhyme that's kickin' knowledge that we need We lie about our hair And we know we got a weave Politicians lie about the things they're gonna do And everybody's tale affects me and you A smoker lies about the money that he stole And a dope dealer never tells you how he got his gold I guess what Debbie T. is really trying to say When you break it all down we're all the same I'll live my life a different way Refuse to let myself be caught up In a vicious web of lies Lies, lies, using lies as alibis Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise Lies, lies, using lies as alibis Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise Lies, lies, using lies as alibis Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise Lies, lies, using lies as alibis Lie's, lies, just a devil in disguise
