Well it's fine to believe things that aren't true
If you can get other people to believe them too
You might get somewhere
You might like it there
Do you know deep inside that it's not okay
Saying whatever's gonna help you get your way
You still having fun
If you hurt someone?
Yet you don't really believe yourself
You say whatever it takes
To take advantage of someone else
'Cause the point is that you've got no shame
Don't apologise and then you'll
Never ever have to explain
So just go tell the story you want to tell
And the facts and reality can go to hell
You enrage and scare
You might boost your share
And we all shake our heads and we bite our tongues
And do nothing while everyone expects someone
To please call your bluff
Have we heard enough?
Yet you don't really believe yourself
You say whatever it takes
To take advantage of someone else
'Cause the point is that you've got no shame
Don't apologise and then you
Don't have to explain
You're laughing
I think that I smell a rat
I think that I know exactly where it's at
I think that I smell a rat
It's a whole new world out there
The truth is all in tatters
With no prospect of repair
Gotta keep your head on straight somehow
Despite what we can see
We're expected to believe it now
I think that I smell a rat
I think that I know exactly where it's at
I think that I smell a rat
I think that I smell a rat
I think that I smell a rat
I think that I know exactly where it's at
I think that I smell a rat
I think that I smell a rat
