Here's the Thing

Here's the thing, if you smile enough then everybody smiles
Here's the thing, if you work a little harder, you'll get by
Here's the thing, or you can trust a man who wears a suit and tie
It's all just lies, lies, lies, lies

Here's the thing, if your parents worked to earn it, then it's yours
Here's the thing, if you're barely getting by, then that's your fault
Here's the thing, everything in life is fair and that's the rules
It's all just lies, lies, lies, lies

If you just close your eyes, then everything's alright
If you just close your eyes, then everything's alright
Hey ma' I wrote a song now everything's alright
It's all just

Here's the thing, you're worth as much as all the luxury you buy
Here's the thing, the world will be okay, if we stop taking flights
Here's the thing, if you just change the way you eat, you'll never die
It's all just lies, lies, lies, lies

Here's the thing, companies care for the people they employ
Here's the thing, discrimination doesn't happen anymore
Here's the thing, working hard you know it's better for your soul
It's all just lies, lies, lies, lies

If you just close your eyes, then everything's alright
If you just close your eyes, then everything's alright
Hey ma' I wrote a song now everything's alright
It's all just, oh

Try a little harder little bird
If you're in bed then someone else is catching worms
And if you break a little wing, you'll have to learn
It's all just lies, lies, lies, lies

Here's the thing, Jesus loves you, and the footballs coming home
Here's the thing, it's just a joke you know you'll get it when you grow
Here's the thing, Rule Britannia, you'll never walk alone
It's all just lies, lies, lies, lies
It's all just

Hand me not this fiery sword dear Lord
And growing bored of condescending chit-chat
Bows not burning gold it's guilt our father's father
Built the mills in which we, oh

Here's the thing, if you smile enough then everybody smiles
If you just work a little harder you'll get by
(Here's the thing) or you can trust a man who wears a suit and tie
It's all just lies, lies, lies, lies

Here's the thing, and if your parents worked to earn it, then it's yours
(Here's the thing) and if you're barely getting by then that's your fault
(Here's the thing) and everything in life is fair and that's the rules
It's all just lies, lies, lies, lies

You're worth as much as all the luxury you buy
(Here's the thing) the world will be okay if we stop taking flights
(Here's the thing) and if you just change the way you eat, you'll never die
It's all just lies, lies, lies, lies
