Things are not what they appear
Starting with a mother's love
When a helping hand comes near
It becomes an empty glove

Things are not what they appear
Starting with your hopes and dreams
Just one thing in life is clear
Nothing's ever what it seems

Even babies lie
And the stars don't cry

Nothing's ever what it seems
People lie from ear to ear
Just to help their little teams
Which are not what they appear

We are wrong to begin with
Even if we were sincere
Truth is just a useful myth
Things are not what they appear

Even babies steal
And the stars don't squeal
Even babies kill
And the stars are still
