lies

a watched pot never boils
salt over your shoulder
turn the other cheeck
one more crow and you've got murder

the lies they tell you mean nothing at all
they make up silly rules to make you feel secure 
when things get out of hand theres one thing they know for sure
fear is the cure

people die in front of your eyes
and people die where you cant see
it doesnt matter if you can see them
everything everywhere can be neutralized

false idols and false fears
rule your life and bring you down
they spill forth both blood and tears
a broken society that jams its gears

let them strike you
but if you strike them back
you'll fill a pew
and pray for holiness you lack

the lies they tell you mean nothing at all
unless you take them seriously 
and not act mischievously
then you'll just joylessly live out a lie.
a lie that means nothing at all.
