I`ve got no politics no influential friend or two 
I`ve got ideas but it`s nothing I picked up at school 
I might be running but I`m never running back to you

And here`s a letter from the real world I don`t expect you`ll reply 
And anything you`re gonna tell me it`s just another lie

I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by 
You`ve got no power and my situation don`t apply 
You ask me how I am I lie and say I`m doing fine

And with your sugar sweetened alibi there was a truth I never knew 
And all the attitude you gave me it`s coming back to you

String of lies it`s always compromise with you 
String of lies you know there`s nothing left to do 
String of lies it`s been a string of lies with you

And here`s a letter from the real world I don`t expect your reply 
And anything you`re gonna tell me it`s just another lie

String of lies we always compromise for you 
String of lies you know there`s nothing left to do 
String of lies it`s been a string of lies with you 
String of lies we always compromise for you 
And here`s a letter from the real world
