Everybody Lies

from Garden of Edith by Cyanide Slugs

lyrics

So you think the words that you read are the truth and you’ve made up your mind
Falling down the hole in your head that you dug when you chose to be blind
You can be a dick and a jerk and a schmuck and a moron combined
That’s what you can do
That’s what you can do

Everybody says that left is always right
Everybody knows that dark is never light
Everybody kills the criminals on sight
Everybody lies
Everybody lies

You can punch a hole in the life of someone ‘cause it makes you feel great
Hacking off the scalps of dissenters and scoundrels right out of the gate
Basking in the justified virtuous glow of the storm you create
That’s what you can do
That’s what you can do

Everybody takes their turn with loaded dice
Everybody gets the shitiest advice
Everybody sells their conscience for a price
Everybody lies
Everybody lies

There is nothing wrong with decisions made in haste
If they’re evidence and reasonably based
But flapping off your mouth like a penis is a waste
Of time and space

Everybody hits the essence of the nerve
Everybody grades your actions on a curve
Everybody keeps some anger in reserve
Everybody lies
Everybody lies
