Living in an Age of Lies

Your lawyer’s a crook
His tailor’s a spook
And the bar staff is out on the lake
The pastor’s on dope
His mistress lost hope
And the air force is back on the take
Hey, we’re living in an age of lies
When hearing the truth’s a surprise
And capitalism becomes a disguise
For the crooks who plan our demise
Howls in the courtroom
Cries from the bedroom
Reporters bee-lined for the hills
Riots in the street
Cops dead on their feet
And new junkies out looking for pills
Hey, we’re living in an age of lies
When hearing the truth’s a surprise
And capitalism becomes a disguise
For the crooks who plan our demise
If the powers of the day
say that truth's in the way
then we better all pray
that we don't let them stay
Lock up your mother
The kids and your brother
And don’t let your servants outdoors
Put cash in a sock
With a key and a lock
Avoid visiting high-rise top floors
Hey, we’re living in an age of lies
When hearing the truth’s a surprise
And capitalism becomes a disguise
For the crooks who plan our demise
Let thinkers discuss
Allow mothers to fuss
And put your firstborn outside to play
Stop bankers who lie
Sunbathers who fry
Have church goers kneel down and pray
Hey, we’re living in an age of lies
When hearing the truth’s a surprise
And capitalism becomes a disguise
For the crooks who plan our demise
