Lies, Delusion, Self-Deception

Lies, delusion, self-deception
If exposed they take exception
Perhaps they have no perception
That truth is the best direction

And living one huge fantasy
Is intellectual bankruptcy
But surely it's a malady
Of our entire society

We live a lie from morn 'til night
We're so afraid the truth might bite
And we don't want to see the light
Exposing lies is impolite

So we pretend our life is great
We really haven't gained much weight
That we won't die if we tailgate
And death won't come, it has to wait

Do politicians really lie
Do advertisers falsify
Do reporters deceive thereby
Do we live true or live a lie
