[Verse 1]
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey mom, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mother, lie
[Verse 2]
You read the paper, watch the news, and you think you're well informed
Well, I got some news for you, my friend
[Verse 3]
That heaven that you read, the story that broke
It was a scandal, yeah, a scam, political mouths to stoke
Tell you what they want you to hear, close your eyes and open your ears
[Verse 4]
Yes, it's easier that way
When you don't have to think for yourself, you say
[Verse 5]
Hey, I'll tell you no lies, I'll tell you no lies
Because I read it all in black and white
It was on my TV
Yeah, they were telling me just what to believe
Hey, I'll tell you no lies, I'll tell you no lies
And all the while they're telling you lies
[Verse 6]
Hey mama, hey, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey, hey mommy, lie
Hey mama, hey, oh, hey mother, lie
[Verse 7]
Every day you and me, we see what we are shown
Yes, it can be hard to scratch below
[Verse 8]
There are people at the top, they are hidden far from view
They're not gonna show their faces to the likes of me and you
Well, you'd never see them on the street
But you'll always see the things that they do
[Verse 9]
Yes, they can get away
And no price is too high for them to pay
[Verse 10]
Yeah, I'll tell you no lies, I'll tell you no lies
It's very simple, yeah, it's in black and white
And it's on your TV
Oh, we got everything you need to believe
Hey, I'll tell you no lies, I'll tell you no lies
And all the while they're telling you lies
Oh, all the while they're telling you lies
And all the while they're telling you lies
[Verse 11]
Lies, lies
Oh, lies and lies and lies
Oh, lies, lies, lies
Yeah, lies and lies, lies
[Verse 12]
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey mother, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mother, lie
Hey mama, hey mother, hey mommy, lie
Hey mama, hey, all the while they're telling you lies
