Bodyguard of Lies
In war time, truth is so precious, cross the tee's and close your eyes
In war time, truth is so precious, attended by the bodyguard of lies
He was a old man, was he a wise man, of secret intelligence
He was a showman, he was a con man, full of confidence
But if you want to know the facts, if you want to know the spin
If you want to know the truth of the shape that we're in
Don't ask him, or his spies, you won't get anything from that bodyguard of lies
It was a just war, it was a fair war, everybody followed the laws
It was a good war, it was so popular, drowned out by the applause
But if you want to know the reason, and you want to know the cost
If you want to know the truth of how many lives were lost...
Don't ask him, or his spies, you won't get anything from that bodyguard of lies
And if those tanks come knocking at your door, don't ask him for any advice
He's already left town an hour ago, with his friend, the admiral's wife
The first Casualty in every war, is the truth, never mind the score...
Don't ask him, or his spies, you won't get anything from that bodyguard of lies
You won't get anything from that bodyguard of lies
In war time, truth is so precious, attended by the bodyguard of lies
He was a old man, was he a wise man, of secret intelligence
He was a showman, he was a con man, full of confidence
But if you want to know the facts, if you want to know the spin
If you want to know the truth of the shape that we're in
Don't ask him, or his spies, you won't get anything from that bodyguard of lies
It was a just war, it was a fair war, everybody followed the laws
It was a good war, it was so popular, drowned out by the applause
But if you want to know the reason, and you want to know the cost
If you want to know the truth of how many lives were lost...
Don't ask him, or his spies, you won't get anything from that bodyguard of lies
And if those tanks come knocking at your door, don't ask him for any advice
He's already left town an hour ago, with his friend, the admiral's wife
The first Casualty in every war, is the truth, never mind the score...
Don't ask him, or his spies, you won't get anything from that bodyguard of lies
You won't get anything from that bodyguard of lies
