Lies That Become Forest Fires
The knowledge of all things good and evil
A common sense that we all share
A set of rules we're supposed to live by
And yet none of us has a conscience that is clear
Guilty pleasures,
Irresistable sin
Ignorance is bliss,
We're only just beginning
This is our crazy, messed up life
Get used to it
It'll leave you high and dry
We only learn the rules so we can cheat
Day by day, week by week
We're getting better at this game
Earning so much fame
On CNN
Breaking news: someone's dead again
But we're not suspected
No never US
So innocent...
Ha! Full of lust!
Posing always posing
Like a model on a billboard
Lying always lying
Selling them all the fiction they can afford
Because they'll buy it
Like a match that's been lit
Blasphemy grows wild
At one point this was mild
Then it grew out of control
We lost it all; everything we know
All to cover up the guilt that we felt
Now we all fall down, burn up, and melt.
