[Verse 1]
I've got no politics, no influential friend or two
I've got ideas, but it's nothing I picked up at school
I might be running, but I'm never running back to you

[Chorus 1]
And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect you'll reply
And anything you're going to tell me, it's just another lie

[Verse 2]
I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by
You've got no power and my situation don't apply
You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine

[Bridge]
And with your sugar-sweetened alibis, there was a truth I never knew
And all the attitude you gave me, it's coming back to you

[Chorus 2]
String of lies, it's always compromise with you
String of lies, you know there's nothing left to do
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
[Outro]
And here's a letter from the real world
