I regret to inform you
Everybody's lying to you,
Leaving no trace of truth in mind
Deep down inside you know its true,
Every bloody institute
Every greedy corporation,
Every unscrupulous politician
Every day seek to manipulate,
Lie to to you in the media
Lie and mislead to your face,
Without any remorse or care
Devoid of moral ethics and principle,
Revelling in cunning duplicitously
Speaking with forked tongues,
Embellish in name of control
Will tie you up in knots,
Worse than any bad apple
Some people rotten to the core,
Your being played like a fiddle
Hoodwinked, bamboozled, deceived,
We can force a life that's better
Unchain ourselves from falsehoods,
Let poetry hum the voice of truth
The power of sincerity can save us,
Though you may not believe me
Might think I'm trying to fool you.
