Pop Lie
All sweetly sung and succinctly stated Words and music you calculated To make you sing along With your stereo on As you stand in your shorts on your lawn Get completely incorporated By some couple who consummated Their first love by the dawn A falling star wished upon And flashed in the sky and was gone And that's when ...* By the back room, the kids all waited To meet the man in bright green Who had dreamed up the dream that they rest their hearts upon He's the liar who lied in his pop song And you're lying when you sing along And you're lying when you sing along So, here's the car seat, so cruelly weighted And here's the faces already faded At the end of the day When they just threw away the only good thing that they owned Letras de cancionesAnd now they're ...* But at the food court, the float's inflated People line up to see the man who dreamed up the dream that they rest their hearts upon He's the liar who lied in his pop song The liar who lied in his pop song And you're lying when you sing along Oh yeah, you're lying when you sing along Week by week, it climbs up and comes on And we're feeling alright, though we know it's all wrong I'm ashamed to admit that I can't help resist what I wished was the truth, but it's not And I truly believe we're not strong And we'll sing til our voices are gone And ...* This is respectfully dedicated To the woman who concentrated All of her love to find That she'd wasted it on The liar who lied in this song From Letras Mania
