[Verse 1]
Picked up the afternoon paper
And went leafing through
The local news when I
Saw all the false accusations
About the situation
We allegedly had been through
Those lies
Lies in black and white

[Verse 2]
Then I tuned into the station
And I listened to
My favorite DJ play
He spoke of rumors and opinions
As the backlash grew
All they thought they knew were lies
Lies in black and white

[Chorus]
There's two sides to every coin
Keep telling yours, you just might begin to believe it

[Verse 3]
You're laboring in the vacuum
I never felt at ease with you in the room
You're still squeezing the very last drop of juice
From the rotting fruit
While all you spew are lies
Lies in black and white
[Chorus]
There's two sides to every coin
Keep telling yours, you just might begin to believe it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Harmonica Solo]

[Chorus]
There's two sides to every coin
Keep telling yours, you just might begin to believe it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 4]
I see a man in a whisper
Your words are twisted bitter
You duplicitous quitter, you once said
"You'd make a good Christian"
I laughed, "How would you know?"
With your hate in tow
And your lies
Lies in black and white
Lies in black and white
