No, it's not cooperation or trust, or any that stuff hippies want you to believe,

it's lies! All the little white lies we tell each other.

You see, Perry the Platypus,

Lies are the glue that holds society

together.

People lie about their mileage; they lie about the weather.

They lie to spare each other's feelings.

They lie to stay in bed.

They lie to feel important

about all the books that they've read!

You look good in that hat. (Lies!)

I don't think you have too many cats. (Lies!)

Your hair looks nice when it's up like that. (Lies!)

Lies, lies, lies!

Oh yeah, the house looks great. (Lies!)

You haven't put on any weight. (Lies!)

Oh, I thought you said eight! (Lies, lies, lies, lies!)

People say that it's alright.

They're only trying to be polite.

But even though they're little and white

they're lieeeeeees!

Yes!

Everyone says "it's alright!"

and I don't want to start a fight

but you know the ties that bind us tight are

lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

D'you hear that high note? That was the A above Middle C. Not too shabby?
