Let’s try reaching for the sky Hang on and you’re going to die Our lives can turn so sweet Child with an innocent smile Destroys me all the while Don’t be fooled when he cries
You sit there watching all go down Live your life to a different sound You fought for freedom, you’re fighting still You’ll never get fortune, I’ll pay your bill
More lies, more promises We all live in a world of fools More lies, more promises We all live in a world, a world of fools In a world of fools
Nobody comes to show you a line Open your eyes and find the sign And now you’re seventy and too old to die More and more you accept that’s all a lie
More lies, more promises We all live in a world of fools More lies, more promises We all live in a world of fools More lies, more promises We all live in a world of fools More lies, more promises We all live in a world, a world of fools
More lies, more promises We all live in a world of fools More lies, more promises We all live in a world More lies, more promises We all live in a world of fools More lies, more promises We all live in a world of fools More lies, more promises We all live in a world of fools More lies, more promises We all live in a world of fools More lies, more promises
