"White Lies" lyrics

"White Lies"

(We are all nomadic)
Well, if it's there for the taking
I'm making no mistakes, I'm all in

(So diplomatic)
Well, we know it's for sale and the terms will never fail
Why're we waiting?

(It's problematic)
It's deplorable to some
But the shareholders like how it sounds

(It's systematic)
And who'da thought they would make it so easy?

Well, just suppose I might have lied and start again
Would you suppose I might have lied and start again?

(So, I'm alive!)
Heat score, it's been trouble since you were born

(It's all a lie!)
Don't take it personal, it's just the way of the world

Well, just suppose I might have lied and start again
Would you suppose I might have lied and start again?

(We are all nomadic)
Well, it was there for the taking
My life's work's been raking it in

(So diplomatic)
So what if it wasn't for sale?
There's a check in the mail, anyway

(It's problematic)
It's deplorable to some
But the shareholders like how it sounds

(It's systematic)
Take a look at these quarterly statements

Would you suppose I might have lied and start again?

(So, I'm alive!)
Heat score, it's been trouble since you were born

(It's all a lie!)
I'll take your complaints and discuss them with the board

(Well, that's some kind of deal!)
I found that it's easier when you're right

(Until your dead!)
Wait in the lobby, we'll discuss the terms of the sale

(I found that it's easier when you're white)
Don't take it personal, it's just the way of the world

(I found that it's easier when you're white)
Don't take it personal, it's just the way of the world
