They unveil their latest crusade
It's some moral outrage they're stopping
Worldwide, religious arcade
It means their income was dropping
The host looks sincere
Irrelevant facts aren't a part of his career

The trouble with lies
When you tell them you still got to sell them
With the look in your eyes
Oh, that's the trouble with lies
As far as i'm concerned
With the lessons i've learned
I'm determined to try and survive
Without lies

This time it's her out 'til two
He hears the car in the driveway
He wonders what story she'll use
Did she get lost on the highway
He knows what it's like
He had to come up with a good one last night

The trouble with lies
When you tell them you still got to sell them
With the look in your eyes
Oh, that's the trouble with lies
As far as i'm concerned
With the lessons i've learned
I'm determined to try and survive
Without lies

I wish you could just tell the truth
I hear your voice getting nearer
It brings back the crimes of your youth
Avoid your eyes in the mirror
The trouble with lies
Is that you start to forget where the real man hides

The trouble with lies
When you tell them you still got to sell them
With the look in your eyes
Oh, that's the trouble with lies
As far as i'm concerned
With the lessons i've learned
I'm determined to try and survive
Without lies
