Beautiful lie Lyrics

He worked in a center making wrong kids right watched a lot of good kids die

So he spoke to the man in black, and said what's all this suffering about

Are we just peddling a lie

The priest he told him you have to suffer to survive

It's over here but it gets better when they die

Well I just can't decide if that's the truth or a beautiful lie

If it's a lie it's a beautiful lie

Oh it's a beautiful lie

He left for fairer weather, and a fairer pay grade The corporate fantasy

Found a lot of rich men there with their hearts in poverty 60 hours for a golden salary

Got drunk at a work event, talking to a so called friend

Is this what they call living the dream

That friend he told him you have to suffer for this dream

Working hard to get what you see on the tv screen

Well I just can't decide if that's a dream or a torturous scheme

If it's a dream it's a hell of a dream

Oh what a hell of a dream

So he turned to god in vain, Asked What can I find true

Am I pissing in the wind

But the only words he heard back they were fine but not divine

An echo from inside

You've been talking to that mirror in your mind

Like we all have done for all of man kept time

If you still can't decide between the truth and a beautiful lie

I guess the truth is a beautiful lie

Oh it's a beautiful lie

I don't believe we have to suffer to survive

Or chase a dream we hate to live till the day we die

I can well decide if that's the truth or a beautiful lie

It's a lie, it's a beautiful lie

Oh, it's a beautiful lie
