Song Of Solace
If at first you don't succeed
Try to lie again
The truth is all you never need
And the grief and strain remain
For life upon this mortal earth
Is a swiftly fading stain
Of honour, duty and dignity
Fictions by any other name
Speak the truth your betters say
Never tell a lie
The weak and lowdown stand in your way
And never look you in the eye
But rob you blind and stab your back if from their truth you stray
And truth is never verifiable
And facts change by the day
Stick to your story
Always
Stick to it no matter what
When faced by fact or tripped up by truth
Seek solace in the lies you got
Stick to your story
Always
Stick to it no matter what
When faced by fact or tripped up by truth
You can hide in the lies you got
Your lies and schemes are well rewarded honesty is not
Should your deception be discovered it's soon to be forgot
So sing your song with the stolen tune
'Til you put on the spot
Change it rearrange it
A little
But not a lot
Stick to your story
Always
Stick to it no matter what
When faced by fact or chased by truth
You can hide in the lies you got
Stick to your story
Always
Stick to it no matter what
When faced by fact or chased by truth
Seek solace in the lies you got
Innocence does not exist before the apple tree
Fetch your axe and chop it down if you're to find tranquility
Chop at the root
Eat of its fruit
If asked who did the deed
Drop your axe point at Eve
And whisper 'God, it was she...'
Stick to your story
Always
Stick to it no matter what
When faced by fact or tripped up by truth
Seek solace in the lies you got
Stick to your story
Always
Stick to it no matter what
When faced by fact or tripped up by truth
You can hide in the lies you got
Stick to it no matter what
When faced by fact or tripped up by truth
Seek solace in the lies you got
Stick to your story
Always
Stick to it no matter what
When faced by fact or chased by truth
Seek solace in the lies you got
Try to lie again
The truth is all you never need
And the grief and strain remain
For life upon this mortal earth
Is a swiftly fading stain
Of honour, duty and dignity
Fictions by any other name
Speak the truth your betters say
Never tell a lie
The weak and lowdown stand in your way
And never look you in the eye
But rob you blind and stab your back if from their truth you stray
And truth is never verifiable
And facts change by the day
Stick to your story
Always
Stick to it no matter what
When faced by fact or tripped up by truth
Seek solace in the lies you got
Stick to your story
Always
Stick to it no matter what
When faced by fact or tripped up by truth
You can hide in the lies you got
Your lies and schemes are well rewarded honesty is not
Should your deception be discovered it's soon to be forgot
So sing your song with the stolen tune
'Til you put on the spot

You can hide in the lies you got

You can hide in the lies you got
Stick to it no matter what
When faced by fact or tripped up by truth
Seek solace in the lies you got
Stick to your story
Always
Stick to it no matter what
When faced by fact or chased by truth
Seek solace in the lies you got
