Don't you cry now little girl
You've got your life to unfurl
I don't know how you see this world
I'll try to burden less, oh girl
I'll walk with you, I'll talk with you
Our views are not the same
And I love you still
Even if we go up in flames
Time draws near
It's oh so clear
What a wonderful lie it's been
Your rational fear
It's so sincere
What a wonderful lie it's been
Time draws near
It's oh so clear
What a wonderful lie it's been
Your rational fear
It's so sincere
What a wonderful lie it's been
Democracy, hypocrisy
They both will coincide
The clergy spouts prosperity
And force it down your throat
You've had so much and you've had enough
Now you're about to choke
Time draws near
It's oh so clear
What a wonderful lie it's been
Your rational fear
It's so sincere
What a wonderful lie it's been
Time draws near
It's oh so clear
What a wonderful lie it's been
Your rational fear
It's so sincere
What a wonderful lie it's been
Keep it up you're doing fine
While there are those who are doing time
The poor in soul have sold their soul
Not to make this personal
But they've messed up once, they've messed up twice
I'm the one who pays the price
It's absolutely absurd how we hang on to every word
Time draws near
It's oh so clear
What a wonderful lie it's been
Your rational fear
It's so sincere
What a wonderful lie it's been
Time draws near
It's oh so clear
What a wonderful lie it's been
Your rational fear
It's so sincere
What a wonderful lie it's been
Here we sit and watch a box
They say the panic will not stop
The words are pouring through their teeth
Running rampant through the streets
Not news they speak of blues
And scare majorities
Convincing you it's real
Sit down for the family meal
Time draws near
It's oh so clear
What a wonderful lie it's been
Your rational fear
It's so sincere
What a wonderful lie it's been
Time draws near
It's oh so clear
What a wonderful lie it's been
Your rational fear
It's so sincere
What a wonderful lie it's been
