Played a criminal case
I've yet to pay off the ransom
The polygraph states
That her heart's only made out of plastic

I've practiced my lines
The critics decline
Maybe practice doesn't make perfect every time
Not every time

If we don't get the joke
Then why are we laughing?
The curtain's gone down
Yeah, but there was a masterful ending

Let's tear down the stage
I can't stand the sight of
This dark empty spotlight
Method acting no longer working

With all these little white lies
Little white lies
Little white lies
Maybe they're not so little after all
No no

You've got to dig yourself out
Dig yourself out
Dig yourself out
Or you'll never see the daylight
No no

It all adds up somehow

If you've nothing to hide
Then why go lying about me?
Nothing to prove
So why go on pretending?

I had a dream
I took an oath
The bible was missing
Method acting no longer working
We're just critics little darling

With all these little white lies
Little white lies
Little white lies
Maybe they're not so little after all
No no

You've got to dig yourselves out
Dig yourselves out
Dig yourself out
Or you'll never see the daylight
No no

It all adds up somehow

Little white lies
Little white lies
Little white lies

Little white lies
Little white lies
Little white lies

(Little white lies
Little white lies
Little white lies)
