  good morning!
  
  when you look into the mirror
  do you see a face you hardly recognise
  if you look into the sun too long
  do the things you see begin to burn your eyes
  
  paper lies
  
  just to express what he's thinking
  must a man take all the mail will bring
  are we living only for today
  it's a sign of the times
  we believe anything and nothing
  
  paper lies
  
  when you kill the truth
  you can make a killing
  you might just make losing look like winning
  
  you came to tell the people what's goin' on
  but nobody knows whose side you're on
  seems like you're sailin' pretty close to the wind again
  
  paper lies
  you have already won a prize!
  
  i know something that you don't know
  something that you ought to know
  it's burning a hole in my pocket book
  listen ... do you want to know a secret?
  we can print our own money here
  if you let us do a piece on you
  we can take you to pieces
  
  when you look into the money
  do you see a face you hardly recognise?
  when you get behind the news of the world
  do the things you find begin to bend your mind?
  
  paper lies
  
  why don't you let us take a piece out of you?
