A simple exchange is all I ask, deceit for blind faith,
In this world of buyers and sellers, it's a more than fair deal,
If it will bring me comfort, then please, TV, tell me what's real.
Tell me a lie please, Mr. Politician, make me feel protected,
Weave those words that way that you do, so I don't feel neglected,
In this world where one can find the abuse of power everywhere,
I need your lies, I need them all, to convince myself you care.
Tell me a lie please, Mr. Facebook, I'm forgetting that I'm the best,
You know all the reasons why I'm sexier and smarter than the rest.
In this world where everything is either a game or a competition,
We need social-media to show us we're doing better than the opposition.
Tell me a lie please, Mr. Me, I need to feel better.
I can no longer find a purpose in this life of a debtor.
Money to the banks or favours to a friend, it appears I owe a lot,
In this culture of commerce it seems that everyone's after what I've got.
Tell me the truth please, anyone, I want to feel whole,
This world is so alien to me and I cannot find my role,
I only need for you to tell me what I'm to do,
When the lies are no longer convincing enough to be considered true.
