"Why Tell The Truth?" by John S LES ©

This post is dedicated to you know who
I made these rhymes just for you
You're always so right and can't be wrong
Just telling yourself lies - but the truth lives on

You wake up in the morning, just brush those teeth
You have to wash off the lies you told in your sleep
You're always so right, and can't be wrong
You have to start fresh, cause you lie all day long

You drove to work and ran the stop sign
I guess you  missed the cop who was watching your behind
Tried to cry and blame other car
But you got a ticket, so your lie didn't get far

You opened your mouth again and again
You retold a lie to all your friends
Said the other car was speeding, and came around a curb
No matter what story you tell, you want the last word

When you got to work, it was between me and you
You forgot to do something that you were supposed to do
But you went on offense to protect yourself
Went to the boss and blamed someone else
Now that guy is suspended, might lose his job
You're still lying faster than eating corn on the cob

Just the other day, I saw you at the mall,
I wondered why you were walking so big and tall
then I spoke to a friend a few days later
Some poor sale clerk got bit by you - the alligator

You did your shopping, bought the the last four shoes
But your lying ass only paid for two
When you try them on, I hope they squeeze your toes
Cause that's how lying usually goes

You think you're cute and got away with it
Living your life on BS cheese and grits
But you never can sleep, because your lie might slip
So sit your ass down let me give you a tip

You may fool a few now, but you can't fool them all
And when that day comes you're going to take a fall
So you won today but that lie won't last
At the end of the week, the Truth will have your ass.

So all of you out there, take it from me
It's not about truth setting you free
Telling the truth doesn't make it all right
But telling the truth will let you sleep at night.
