Purchase Lies, Lies, Lies Purchase You Can't Fool Me Lead sheet: Lies, Lies, Lies Lead sheet: You Can't Fool Me
Lies, Lies, Lies
A protest song about the lies, corruption and disdain for human welfare by former President Donald Trump and his administration.
Chorus:
Lies, lies, lies. All we get is lies, lies lies
All we get is lies and hate
That’s not what makes this country great
Lies, lies, lies. All we get is lies, hate and fear
We’ll get through it, we’ll survive
But we never thought — that this — could happen here
Verse 1:
The first amendment is the core of everything we’re standing for
It’s plain for anyone to see the press is not the enemy
Something here is very wrong and it’s going on far too long
Verse 2:
The rising tide is here to stay but they just look the other way
It’s quite evident to all that we don’t really need a wall
Something here is very wrong and it’s going on far too long
Last chorus:
Lies, lies, lies. All we get is lies, lies lies
All we get is lies and hate. That’s not what makes this country great
Lies, lies, lies. All we get is lies, hate and fear
We will rise above the fray
Because truth will always persevere
