Parents Lie

Parents lie
Its sad but true
Mine lied to me
Yours lies to you
I lie to you
We say there's no monster there under your bed but who knows
It's not like we search
And no one likes broccoli
We're all bad at flossing
And everyone's sleeping in church
And Buck the dog's not at a farm; Buck is dead
And mom wasn't wrestling with Mike in their bed
And Santa Clause, just forget what I said
No, Santa's the shiz
And Santa knows just how it is
Oh, parents lie
Because they can
So learn the truth
My bright young man
They lie with words
They lie with hugs
Parents lie
They lie like rugs
And parents will tell you you're great and
Special and stuff, when clearly you're not
They say that one day you'll feel normal, but that's not enough
It's not by a lot
They'll hold you and tell you they love and they care
But they lie when they tell you they'll always be there
I know it's upsetting but life isn't fair
And parents die
They tell you they won't but the lie
Oh, parents lie
It's hard to hear
It's hard to say
It's true I fear
It's fine to cry
It's sad I know
That parents lie
That parents lie
So come on, here we are
Let's go
