lyrics

"LIES" by David Guilbault

Lies in the headline.
Lies in the speech.
Cries on the fault line
For the murdered lying dead out in the streets.

Lives, Black, that matter.
Lives, taken down.
Cries, for loves now shattered.
When the knee on the throat chokes out the sound.

Hatred is emboldened.
Hatred is on the rise.
Sacred rights are broken
When the lawman with the gun does the crime.

Politicians speaking nonsense.
Politicians, fast and loose.
On their missions of guilty conscience,
Not a one can bear to really speak the truth.

Pundits, up to no good.
Pundits, rant and rage.
Abundant in their falsehoods,
Try to keep the pain and fear on center stage.

Justice waits unanswered.
Justice, mocked and mourned.
What’s this in the courthouse?
Mockery of equity that smells of porn.

Lies in the headline.
Lies in the speech.
Cries on the front line
For the hateful crimes of inequality.
