They unveil their latest crusade   It's some moral outrage they're stopping   Worldwide, religious arcade   It means their income was dropping   The host looks sincere   Irrelevant facts aren't a part of his career      The trouble with lies   When you tell them you still got to sell them   With the look in your eyes   Oh, that's the trouble with lies   As far as I'm concerned   With the lessons I've learned   I'm determined to try and survive   Without lies      This time it's her out 'til two   He hears the car in the driveway   He wonders what story she'll use   Did she get lost on the highway   He knows what it's like   He had to come up with a good one last night      The trouble with lies   When you tell them you still got to sell them   With the look in your eyes   Oh, that's the trouble with lies   As far as I'm concerned   With the lessons I've learned   I'm determined to try and survive   Without lies      I wish you could just tell the truth   I hear your voice getting nearer   It brings back the crimes of your youth   Avoid your eyes in the mirror   The trouble with lies   Is that you start to forget where the real man hides      The trouble with lies   When you tell them you still got to sell them   With the look in your eyes   Oh, that's the trouble with lies   As far as I'm concerned   With the lessons I've learned   I'm determined to try and survive   Without lies
