easy to see

It’s so easy to tell when you lie, There’s that faraway look in your eyes
And your lips start to move as you get in the groove
It’s so easy to tell when you lie
And it’s easy to see what we’ve lost? Yes, it’s easy to measure the cost
Banker priests multiply what adds up to a lie
It’s so easy to see what we’ve lost
All your mobius conversation is just a dubious exhortation
And when I object to the meat of your text
You say I must eschew obfuscation …what?

We all know why you do what you do, Think the choices should be left to you
Regardless your money, It’s not up to you honey
We all know why you do what you do
Don’t you dare tell me just how much you care,
While the rest of us barely have a share
We all know that you’re able, and there’s room at the table
Just don’t tell me how much you care
All your dubious exhortation Is just a spin doctor clarification
And when I object to the meat of your text
You say I must eschew obfuscation …what?
Enough is enough we’ve heard tell, It’s not that we don’t wish you well
But there’s really no doubt, you are squeezing us out
Enough is enough –somebody ring the bell

All your spin doctor clarification Is just a mobius conversation
And when I object to the meat of your text
You say I must eschew obfuscation …what?

We have all had as much as we’ll take, and Your greed?
That’s your biggest mistake
What else can you buy (that) won’t stay here when you die
We have all had as much as we’ll take

Is it so hard to do what is just, Go and think it all through …if you must
Why would minimum wage feed all this rage?
Is it so hard to do what’s right?
It’s so easy to see who you are, with that slippery smile you’ll go far
I’ll be glad when you’re gone and it won’t be too long
It’s so easy to see who you are
