Damn Lies

Yesterday, mama said tomorrow

Will be a brighter day

Today I dressed in shorts and sandals

And made my way to the local park

With my picnic of sandwiches and wine

I came home soon after

Soaked to the skin by the rain

They said we got a democracy

And I the voter, I'm boss

So I sent my pair of wing tips

To the palace on the rock

I hoped to get a spit and shine

Not a visit from the cops

And a week in the brig to boot

Papa said dreams come through

That's why I spread this silk sheets

Before I rocked myself to sleep

Thinking of Penelope Cruz

I woke up this morning alone

Holding my stiffened sword

Like a knight at war with the world

They doctor said to use a condom

It'll make the sex safe

So I got the little blue pills, and

The box of strawberry magnums

For every time I laid the maid

Now my wife's got my house

My kids and my money too

The preacher said Jesus died

And rose again in three days

I needed three days to rest

So I clicked the safety off

And put the glock to my head

For that I got a month

In bed, at the crazy house

Somebody's been telling me lies

Damn them all to pieces

Me too for believing them all
