------ Verse 1 ------

Lies

Telling ourselves lies,

And I'm irate,

When I really ask myself why

And it grows hard to be one of the humans,

Hard to forgive my own kind,

------ Pre Chorus ------

Well I drag my feet,

'Cause I don't get this beat,

Suffering just breeds more suffering,

Every break will cause more pain,

Open up your eyes,

Look to that mirror and you will see,

We are,

Far from enlightened.

------ Chorus ------

We're lying to ourselves,

We're creating our own hell,

We're wondering why it burns to play with fire,

We tell ourselves more lies,

We justify our crimes,

We never seem to learn that smart ain't wise.

We're lying to ourselves,

We're creating our own hell,

We're wondering why it burns to play with fire,

We tell ourselves more lies,

We justify our crimes,

We never seem to learn, oh oh oh, that smart ain't wise.

------ Verse 2 ------

Time,

We've been here a short time,

A few thousand years,

We've been somewhat civilized,

We fight a war,

A war that is very old,

Where the greedy get more,

And the kind are left behind!!!

------ Chorus ------

We're lying to ourselves,

We're creating our own hell,

We're wondering why it burns to play with fire,

We tell ourselves more lies,

We justify our crimes,

We never seem to learn that smart ain't wise.

We're lying to ourselves,

We're creating our own hell,

We're wondering why it burns to play with fire,

We tell ourselves more lies,

We justify our crimes,

We never seem to learn, oh oh oh, that smart ain't wise,

No no no

oh oh oh, no smart ain't wise,
