Well I'm reading this poem    and it's so profound    and I like its rhythm    and I like its sound    it's by a very famous poet   no critic can criticise    and then I pause a moment    and I start to realize    he's tellin'    lies lies lies    on the motel TV.    I dig the evangelist    he'll tell you all about that    and then he tell you all about this    he's preachin' up a storm    by the sea of Galilee    he's mixin' up the truth    with something funny I start to see    he's tellin'    lies lies lies    I never had this problem    with nobody in the government    I guess I always figured    they never mean what they meant    and GOD help us all    not to be so stone surprised    when we wake up in the stars    with the skies in our eyes    if we keep tellin'    lies lies lies
