Lies in the balance

This time you fooled me, you played all the ticks
Now it's no wonder why they called you slick
You saw what pissed me off & did that no more
A sign of the times, a political whore

I have been taken by words I was told
I bought a package that's not what you sold

Lies become facts when you word them just right
Keeping your lover pushed way out of sight
Changing your hair for the crowd I was in
"Say whatever they want man, just as long as you win"

I have been taken by words I was told
I bought a package that's not what you sold

"Hidden in places, they can't see a trace of my lies"
"Keep all those faces away from my revealing eyes"
"Hidden in places, they can't see a trace of my lies"
"Keep all those faces away from my revealing eyes"

"Hidden in places, they can't see a trace of my lies"
"Keep all those faces away from my revealing eyes"
"Hidden in places, they can't see a trace of my lies"
"Keep all those faces away from my revealing eyes"
"My word are lies"
