Cock Sparrer - Lies? Lyrics

Cheats never prosper, crime don't pay
The meek shall inherit come judgement day
Peace in our time, no pain no gain
Management decisions, insurance claims
The slow but sure will always win it
There's one born every minute

It's a lie, it's a lie
It's a lie, it's a lie

The cheque's in the post, you won't feel a thing
The power of prayer and the deadly sins
You're as young as you feel, your mother knows best
The truth will out, young man go west
The end can justify the means
And God save the queen

It's a lie, it's a lie
It's a lie, it's a lie

Breeding counts, lambs to the slaughter
Who dares wins, blood's thicker than water
Expense accounts, graduation days
A friend in need, a spade's a spade
The power and the glory, the country's burning
The lady's not for turning

It's a lie, it's a lie
It's a lie, it's a lie

Mega-buck deals, interest rates
Fortune tellers and the hand of fate
Credit ratings, human rights
The seven wonders, another street fight
Global warming and cleaner seas
Here come the cavalry

It's a lie, it's a lie
It's a lie, it's a lie
It's a lie, it's a lie
It's a lie, it's a lie

It's a lie, it's a lie
It's a lie, it's a lie
It's a lie, it's a lie
It's a lie, it's a lie

It's a lie, it's a lie
It's a lie, it's a lie
It's a lie, it's a lie
