The Truth Is a Lie
[Lauren Marcus]
The Berlin Wall wasn't destroyed
It was dismantled brick by brick
Like London Bridge and reconstructed
On Capitol Hill on the congressional floor
[Nick Blaemire]
The money spent on one stealth bomber
Couldn't wipe out homelessness
George Bush never said "read my lips"
The peace dividend didn't pay for the war
[Nick Blaemire and Lauren Marcus]
Don't look out the window
Don't go to the mirror
Don't you know what you will see
Don't look out the window
Don't go to the mirror
Don't you know what you will see
[Krysta Rodriguez]
Hey!
Martin Luther King and the Kennedys
Were fictional players in a mini-series
Just like Charles Manson and Princess Grace
[Andy Mientus]
Bensonhurst was a publicity stunt
AIDS is a myth
First amendment's fake
The sun revolves around the earth
And the Holocaust never took place
[Andy Mientus and Krysta Rodriguez]
Don't look out the window
Don't go to the mirror
Don't you know what you will see
Don't look out the window
Don't go to the mirror
Don't you know what you will see
The truth is a lie
The truth is a lie
[George Salazar]
Love does not exist between
Consenting members of the same sex
Two plus two is five
[Lauren Marcus]
The human body is revolting
Its morning in America
We always will ride
[All]
Woo!
[Nick Blaemire]
Children don't learn to hate their parents
They catch it like German measles
The moon is cheese
And everyone should own a gun
[Krysta Rodriguez]
Women ask to be black and blue
And pregnant their entire lives
[George Salazar]
The earth is flat, and the white man
Knows what's best for everyone
[Krysta Rodriguez and George Salazar]
Don't look out the window
Don't go to the mirror
Don't you know what you might see
[Krysta Rodriguez and Nick Blaemire]
Don't look at the picture
Don't go to the theater
Don't you know what you will see
[All]
The truth is a lie
The truth is a lie
The truth is a lie
The truth is a lie
The truth is a lie
