PERMANENT LIES by Tom Jensen
Permanent lies, permanent lies
Permanent lies, permanent lies
Facts are interchangeable
Opinions oh so manageable
Everything is rearrangeable
For those who own the world
The discovery I am finding
No contract can be binding
When the empire is declining
The shell closes on a pearl
When confined by isolation
With this stale air I’m tasting
I slowly begin wasting
My time, my mind, my pay
So with nothing in my pockets
I gotta go get it
Because I don’t got it
And when I do it flits away
Permanent lies
Lead to infinite wars…
What hides behind the disguise?
It’s so hard to tell anymore
There’s many giving up
No, I’m not talking ‘bout the poor
Lots of middle class or better
All falling dead upon the floor
Permanent lies, permanent lies
Permanent lies, permanent lies
Facts are interchangeable
Opinions oh so manageable
Everything is rearrangeable
For those who own the world
The discovery I am finding
No contract can be binding
When the empire is declining
The shell closes on a pearl
When confined by isolation
With this stale air I’m tasting
I slowly begin wasting
My time, my mind, my pay
So with nothing in my pockets
I gotta go get it
Because I don’t got it
And when I do it flits away
Permanent lies
Lead to infinite wars…
What hides behind the disguise?
It’s so hard to tell anymore
There’s many giving up
No, I’m not talking ‘bout the poor
Lots of middle class or better
All falling dead upon the floor
