Why You Lie - The Wildhearts

Regardez, this ones a whiner, this ones a wimp

Walks with a smile

And talks with a limp

Lives by excuses, thinks we believe

Then gets more confused and in time more na’ve

Stays in the past cuz the future has gone into

Trying to remember which story to be on

Suffers the silence, harbours the guilt

Plays up the neighbour routine to the hilt

Don’t show in the accent don’t show in the eyes

Don’t know if suspicion is justified

No patience is fun

No patience is fun

In the mist of reaction are those who deny

That’s why human beings lie

Why, why, why d’ya have to lie

Why do you have to lie to me?

Huh?

Why, why, why d’ya have to lie

Why do you have to lie to me?

Huh?

Takes your attention, makes you complete

No woman and no man can foresee this deceit

And extinction of what you believe in

The friendship, trust and the way you was feeling

You bought it, framed it, claimed it and became it

Bathed in the sunlight of something so tainted

Your stupid (yeah), I’m stupid (yeah)

And that’s why we buy into co-operation

With those afraid of fear

With those afraid of pain

With those afraid of fucking up and taking the blame

They’re all fear no fun

They’re all fear no fun

It’s all fear no fun

It’s all fear no fun

Maybe afraid of a smack in the eye

That’s why human beings lie

Why, why, why d’ya have to lie

Why do you have to lie to me?

Huh?

Why, why, why d’ya have to lie

Why do you have to lie to me?

Huh?
