Good morning!
When you look into the mirror
Do you see a face you hardly recognise
If you look into the sun too long
Do the things you see begin to burn your eyes
Paper lies
Just to express what he s thinking
Must a man take all the mail will bring
Are we living only for today
It s a sign of the times
We believe anything and nothing
Paper lies
When you kill the truth
You can make a killing
You might just make losing look like winning
You came to tell the people what s goin on
But nobody knows whose side you re on
Seems like you re sailin pretty close to the wind again
Paper lies
You have already won a prize!
I know something that you don t know
Something that you ought to know
It s burning a hole in my pocket book
Listen ... do you want to know a secret?
We can print our own money here
If you let us do a piece on you
We can take you to pieces
When you look into the money
Do you see a face you hardly recognise?
When you get behind the news of the world
Do the things you find begin to bend your mind?
Paper lies
Why don t you let us take a piece out of you?
