LIARS

We argue with ourselves about the strangest things We repeat the wildest lies 'til they come true Perceptions are distorted, reality's a joke We pretend it's not all shattering as the world goes up in smoke The Web's a brutal funhouse, it's a maze of mirrors Where we see nothing but reflections of ourselves Stuck in shiny towers built on sand by speculating It won't all come crashing down before the loans are paid The web of life we all depend on Keeps unraveling just beyond our sight The biggest lie is the one that we tell ourselves That we can all make it on our own Nature has been purchased for a wildlife special We consume from the comfort of our couch When the truth is we depend on every bug and flower Bolts keep popping from the plane yet we expect it still to fly The global village is a lunatic asylum Run by bullies screaming lies about the other side They outlaw all questions and label it as freedom Controlling us through fear of others While they lead us toward disaster The web of life we all depend on Keeps unraveling just beyond our sight The biggest lie is the one that we tell ourselves That we can all make it on our own There are no more unspoiled lands to steal from Now we're a serpent feeding only on itself A horde of hungry locusts that eat the seed corn and move on We've chewed up all of heaven there's no place left but hell The web of life we all depend on Keeps unraveling just beyond our sight The biggest lie is the one that we tell ourselves That we can all make it on our own That we humans can make it on our own
