G    G    C    D
 
 
[Verse 1]
    G
You read the paper, watch the news
    C                  D
and think you're well informed
G                C        D
 Well I got some news for you my
G        C  D
friends
 
 
[Verse 2]
     G                           C           D
That headline that you read, the story that broke
         G                      C            D
It was a scandal and a scam, politcal masterstroke
     G
They tell you what they want you to hear
C                   D         G     C  D
close your eyes and open your ears
 
 
[PRE CHORUS]
      Em              C           D
(It's easy) Yeah it's easier that way
  Em
(You don't) You don't have to
C             D        G
think for yourself you say
 
 
[Chorus]
 G         C                      D           G
Yeah, I'll tell you no lies, I'll tell you no lies
(They're telling you lies, lies, lies)
           C              D              G
'Cause you read all it in black and white
                     C     D     G
                It's on my TV
(They're telling you lies, lies, lies)
          C            D           G
They were telling me just what to believe
 G         C                      D           G
Yeah, I'll tell you no lies, I'll tell you no lies
(They're telling you lies, lies, lies)
    C                     D           G    G
And all the while they're telling you lies

[Verse 3]
G
Every day you and me
    C             D
we see what we are shown
G               C         D
Yes its hard to scratch below
G    G    C    D
 
 
[Verse 4]
          G
There are people at the top they
    C               D
are hidden far from view
            G
They're not gonna show their faces
       C               D
to the likes of me and you
 
 
[Verse 5]
          G
You never see them out on the street
           C              D
but you'll always see the things that
     G   G   C   D
they do
 
 
[PRE CHORUS 2]
 Em                        C             D
(They know) They know that they can get away
     Em           C            D       G
(And no price) is too high for them to pay
 
 
[Chorus]
 G         C
Yeah, I'll tell you no lies,
     D           G
I'll tell you no lies
G          C           D             G
It's very simple, it's in black and white
 
     C       D    G
It's on your TV
       C              D         G
We got everything you need to believe
          C
Yeah I'll tell you no lies
     D           G
I'll tell you no lies
 
    C                     D           G    G
And all the while they're telling you lies
    C                     D           G    G
And all the while they're telling you lies
    C                     D
And all the while they're telling you
 
G    G    C    D
lies lies lies lies
G    G    C    D
lies lies lies lies
G    G    C    D
lies lies lies lies
 
 G         G         C           D
 lies      lies      lies        lies
 G         G         C           D
(Hey mamma hey mamma Hey ma they lied) Repeat and fade
