[00:00.00]Why We Lie - Dean Omori
[00:18.14]Starving children on begging knees
[00:21.37]Tell the world why we look away
[00:24.44]
[00:26.86]I broke the hearts of many men
[00:30.33]The women lay down but then again
[00:32.82]
[00:33.49]They all know the reasons why we lie
[00:36.98]
[00:39.47]We can't stand what's gone before
[00:42.52]We can't stand what's coming
[00:45.50]
[00:53.28]So we lie
[00:54.43]
[00:56.84]We look like the devil and we look like god
[00:59.62]
[01:00.21]Born innocent die like dogs
[01:03.18]I ask you how'd we ever got this far
[01:06.82]
[01:08.54]We're nipped and tucked and broken
[01:10.99]
[01:11.54]The vanities got our eyes stolen
[01:13.92]
[01:14.45]For the price of a child you can buy yourself a new car
[01:18.38]
[01:20.66]We can't stand what's gone before
[01:23.10]
[01:29.41]We can't stand what's coming
[01:31.50]
[01:33.16]Or who we are
[01:35.46]
[01:38.08]I fear what the speakers are saying
[01:40.88]I fear what the prayers are praying
[01:43.22]
[01:43.75]I fear what we want to be and why we lie
[01:47.72]
[01:49.69]I'm scared what the shovellers are shovelling
[01:51.89]
[01:52.71]I'm scared what the people are following
[01:54.81]
[01:55.38]I'm scared what we think we are and why we lie
[01:59.44]
[02:01.89]Sometimes it feels I'm all alone
[02:03.79]
[02:04.78]The poet died business grown
[02:07.86]Time of great reform is on my mind
[02:11.34]
[02:13.48]When freedom spoke it broke the law
[02:16.35]They tuned off the camera when we went to war
[02:19.81]They don't want to show the reasons why
[02:23.19]
[02:28.49]We can't stand what's gone before
[02:35.75]
[02:37.37]We can't stand what's coming
[02:39.50]So we lie
[02:40.46]
[02:42.88]I spoke my mind to the firing squad
[02:45.94]They reach for my heart and I reached for their god
[02:48.88]After Auschwitz there can be no more poetry
[02:52.69]
[02:54.82]The brotherhood of man is low
[02:58.10]Money's rich and lies are gold
[03:00.71]Turned up the silence and watched the night sky
[03:04.56]
[03:06.95]We can't stand what's gone before
[03:12.95]
[03:15.64]We can't stand what's coming
[03:17.76]
[03:20.72]So we lie
[03:21.65]
[03:23.37]I fear what the speakers are saying
[03:26.40]
[03:27.03]I fear what the prayers are praying
[03:29.90]I fear what we want to be and why we lie
[03:33.75]
[03:35.19]I'm scared what the shovellers are shovelling
[03:37.61]I'm scared what the people are following
[03:40.93]
[03:41.59]I'm scared what we think we are and why we lie
