Add It Up (1981-1993)

Well, I'm reading this poem and it's so profound
And I, I like its rhythm, and I, I like its sound
It's by a very famous poet, no critic can criticize
And then I, I pause a moment, and I start to realize he's telling

Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies

On the motel TV, I dig the evangelist
He'll tell you all about that and then, he tell you all about this
He's preachin' up a storm by the sea of Galilee
He's mixin' up the truth with something funny, I start to see he's telling

- Wa ha ha ha ha...

Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies

Well, I never had this problem with nobody in the government
I guess I always figured they never mean what they meant
And God, help us all, not to be so stone-surprised
When we wake up in the stars with the skies in our eyes if we keep telling

Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies

- Oh no, oh no, I brought... it's the end of the song and we 
didn't get a chance to jam! Oh no, here we go!
