What you don't know, the legend goes, can hurt you If you only want to live and die in fear They tell us to believe just half of what we see And absolutely nothing that we hear Resist the twised truth no matter what the cost Supplant the rights with

It's an illusion Can't believe what you hear Don't believe what you read Here and gone in a day Not what it seems this American dream Just drifting away After all that we've seem A complete waste of time Just a nursery rhyme

And you can dream So dream out loud So don't let the bastards grind you down To talk like this And act like that And I can love Don't believe what you hear Don't believe what you see If you just close your eyes

Now you know, now you know That I'm a bad liar, bad liar So look me in the eyes, tell me what you see Perfect paradise, tearin' at the seams I wish I could escape, I don't wanna fake it Wish I could erase it, make your heart believe But I'm a bad liar,

Can't believe what I was hearing I don't think I'll spare your feelings You're on your own I'm a do for me what's right Telling me to have a nice life I hope you're thinking

Let's not take it slow Say you just want to wait and see it all unfold But baby when you find what you're seeking Something you can believe in you just got to go So let's not take it slow I don't want to take it slow A charcoal heart that you can't

Still in love with you Baby it's you I know I've been lying to myself You and I were over long ago Don't know why my heart's the last to know I don't wanna believe it But what can I do Visions haunt my memory They hold on, hold on desperately

Careless talk Jealous talk That's what you heard about me That's what I heard about you Everybody's telling lies I don't even know why Why can't people Find something better to do I don't believe what they say
