lyrics

My fellow lab rats
Clearly we’re in a pickle
A right royal pickle
Talk about a proper mind fuck
From the top looking down
The keepers of the divide say
There’s not enough truth to go around
Clearly we’re in a viral lie trap
Time is ripe for devious honesty
You don’t need the right words
You just need the right lies...like
Fuck you is the new i love you
Funny how the best lies always ring true

My fellow lab rats
My fellow insomniacs
My fellow part-time alcoholics
We’re hooked and distracted, penetrated
Misled to believe it’s not safe to get real
It’s each to his own hamster wheel
We’re taught to lie to ourselves and each other just to survive
Everyone’s guilty of something
And now life is patent pending

Make no mistake there’s too much cake at stake
Look at us now all swimming in lies
Lies vs lies
Secretly devised
Suspicion is through the roof
Who am I to tell the truth?
When politics is bliss and lying is the law now
Better the lies we know now
Says who? Says the voice of devious honesty
You don’t need the right words
You just need the right lies...like
Fuck you is the new i love you
Time to get eloquent
Time to sharpen your tongue
Show the bastards some
Ungovernable love and compassion
Like...Truck you is the new i love you

Thanks to masks and muzzles
You can’t even see each other smiling
Or who's lying through their clever teeth

If this is all love,
Then love is blindness for all to see
If this is all love,
Then love is blindness for all to see
Crazy how lies come to light
How can the truth be true for me
If that same truth isn’t true for you

My fellow lab rats
We’re misled to believe we live in something called a country
When in actual fact we live in a laboratory
The likes of which we have never ever seen
No shit Sherlock, the whole world is a crime scene

It's time to jam the mass cover up
It’s time to cancel the viral lie trap
This absolute monopoly is not for us to comply
It’s time to occupy the divide
It’s time to pimp your devious honesty
It’s not safe but it’s healthy
Go on spit it out loud
Fuck you is the new i love you
Time to get eloquent
Time to sharpen your tongue
Show the bastards some
Ungovernable love and compassion...like
Truck you is the new i love you

Everyone’s right you just have to delight in their true lies
Make believe makes the best lies ring true
