lyrics

You are one of a kind
You have a clever mind
You can be anything you like
I have no favourite child
It’s going to be alright
You’re safe inside your bed tonight

Is lying always wrong?
Because clearly these are righteous lies

You don’t look fat in that
That joke just made me laugh
I wasn’t staring at your ass
That’s a cool story bro
Sadly I have to go
Not because you smell like you hate soap

It isn’t wrong to lie in self defence
It isn’t wrong to lie for selfless ends
Lies are a tool much like a knife
Can slit a throat or save a life
I’m not really sad your grandfather is dead
But that’s a truth best kept inside my head
And if you think a secret I should keep
Know that I’m gonna have to lie to do it

If I’m having a shitty day I’ll say I’m doing fine
You’ve got your problems I’ve got mine
If my friends talk shit about you, you won’t hear it from me
Is that a sin or loyalty?
I’m slinging righteous lies!
