Lyrics The Lie - Queensrÿche

The Lie

Read the writing on the wall
Same story, only the names have changed
It’s all around you
Selling fear to keep us down and while we’re down, they give our jobs away
What a shame they say
It’s all around you
It’s a Lie !!
Lie!
Lie!
Lie!
Lie!
It’s a crime!
Bankrupt the country and just walk away
Two wars on tv, a debt our children pay
Those elected in confidence give us illusions that freedom is our right
Freedom is a choice!
On the outside things seem right until you stop and question why
Another crisis situation.
Another crime
On the outside things seem right until you stop and question why
We better look in all directions we’ve been sold a Lie!
It’s all around you!
Lie!
Lie!
Lie!
Lie!
It’s a Lie!
I’m confused.
Which side am I on?
Blue state, red state?
It’s just a state of
mind
It’s all around you.
Why this obsession with categorization?
Why so quick to jump up paint your face?
Stop the madness, this ain’t a race
On the outside things seem right until you stop and question why
We better look in all directions because we’ve been sold a lie
On the outside things seem right until you stop and question why
Another crisis situation.
Another lie
It’s all around you!
It’s a Lie !!
Lie!
Lie!
Lie!
Lie!
