Here they go, lying again

beating everybody at their favourite game

but in the end nobody wins no



Here they go let's pretend the rules have changed but the

names the same

and in the end nobody wins no



Do you think they don't know what they're doing

Do you think they don't know who they're fooling



When I was a boy and I was told that heaven was hot and hell was cold

if I told lies I'd freeze my soul but it didn't seem to matter



Do you think they don't know what they're doing

Do you think they don't know who they're fooling



There they go lying again

They want it just as much as us

and in the end nobody wins no



There they go lying again

they pulled the wool and we all fell in

and in the end nobody wins no



There they go lying again (you're telling lies)

There they go lying again (you're telling lies)
