[Verse 1]

Lie-ie-ie

Lie-ie-ie

I, I, I just can't seem to blend into society

I, I, I hold no hope for this dim simplicity

Of law and order

By whose rules?

[Pre-Chorus]

I, I, I see no rhyme and no reason

I, I, I hold no hope for this holy treason

Of love and so soft

By whose standards?

By whose standards?

[Chorus]

They tell me, they tell me, they tell me

Lie-ie-ie

They tell me, they tell me, they tell me, they tell me all lies

Who is they?

[Verse 2]

Lie-ie-ie

Lie-ie-ie

Lie-ie-ie

Lie-ie-ie, lie, lie

I just can't seem to fit into society

I, I, I hold no hope for this dim simplicity

Of law and order

By whose rules?

[Pre-Chorus]

I, I, I see no rhyme and no reason

I, I, I hold no hope for this holy treason

Of love and so soft

By whose standards?

By my standards

[Chorus]

They tell me, they tell me, they tell me

Lie-ie-ie

They tell me, they tell me, they tell me, they tell me all lies

Who is they?

[Outro]

Lie-ie-ie

Lie-ie-ie

Lie-ie-ie

Lie-ie-ie
