DAVE DAVIES lyrics - The Lie!

They stripped away my innocence and left me here to die

In this sad, cold realization, there are no more tears to cry

But I still believe in miracles, 'cause that's all I had before

And I ain't gonna take your promises no more



They stretched the Earth's resources and built a funeral pyre

Through the smoke the children wonder, 'neith the stark and shattered[?] sky

There is no hope or reason while the corporations roar[?]

Disregarding truth and sacred law



Can't you see we're living in the lie

I believed without a question why

Can't you see we're living in the lie

I believe, controlling all we think and see and do



We're living a lie

We're living a lie



They'll steal away your brightest dreams, just leaving hollow soles

To wander in this city's grime, without a hope or home

The devil plays is final hand, the battle now begins

But no one without true love will ever win



Can't you see we're living in the lie

I believed without a question why

Can't you see we're living in the lie

I believe, controlling all we think and see and do



Oh can't you see we're living in the lie

I believed without a question why

Oh can't you see we're living in the lie

I believe, controlling all we see and think and do



We're living a lie

We're living a lie

We're living a lie
