Daily Liar

Tell me
What's the news today
What is the state of play
I'm drowning
In a sea of words
No life boats on the way

Direct me so
I can find
My way through
The obstacles ahead
Cause I believe
All that you've said
Daily liar

Believe me
With no word of a lie
Happiness is passing by
Trust me
To be your guiding light
On this dark and evil night

Direct me so
I can find
My way through
The obstacles ahead
Cause I believe
All that you've said
Daily liar

With skilful manipulation
Joyriding in the bloody tracks
Of a previous generation
I'm drowning in a raging sea of words
Try to hold on
To a sentence here and there
To stop me going down
Going down going down down down
And I say no no no no no
No no no no no
Do I look like a kind of guy
Who truly believes in the smoke and mirrors
No no no

So tell me
What's the news today
What is the state of play
And knowing
What's right and what is wrong
Your hold on me is gone

Now I know
I'm not at sea
There's a light
A beacon of hope for me
Well take it all with a pinch of salt
