Trail of Lies Lyrics

So another year, another drama (Fuck you)
She reportedly collapsed at
A Hollywood nightclub
She looked like she was on something
Involuntary intoxicated

In the land of make believe, you are all mine
In the land of make believe, I'm doin' fine
In the land of make believe, you are all mine
In the land of make believe, I'm doin' fine

Turn the television off, cousin
That ain't nothing for a girl to see
I got a niece and best believe
She mean the world to me
And she don't need to see the shit
They think a girl should be
Ninety-pound skinny bitches
That ain't even girl to me
Essentially, that shit designed to take
A hold of you telling lies till your vision
Take control of you
They finding different ways to take
Your fucking soul from you
A show about a model make
Your self-esteem low for you
Everything is fake, trust me
No one that lovely
I met a lot of famous people
And they fat and ugly i ain't any better
I just think the fact is funny
That they'll take a little girl and pimp
Her for the cash and money
And what's gonna become of them
In like fifty years
When Hannah Montana turnin'
Into Britney Spears?
They chew you up and spit you
Out 'cause no one really cares
And ain't nobody gonna hold you
When you really scared where the parents at
Cousin? This is really bad
Is this the motherfucking manager
Or really Dad?
Is he concerned about his daughter
Or a silly pad?
This ain't gon' change nothing
I just think it's really sad

In the land of make believe, you are all mine
In the land of make believe, I'm doin' fine
In the land of make believe, you are all mine
In the land of make believe, I'm doin' fine

Turn the television off, cousin
It's a tool for them to clog the mind
Conservatism, liberalism
They divide the line
The natural feelings of a child is
To be calm and kind
Then they show you ads for the
Marines and they decide it's time
So they can send you to a
War behind their father crime
Then send you home missing a limb
And not provide a dime
And the news tell you cops is
On the block for people
I'ma put it simple and plain, cops is evil
Take the television show Cops for example
That's the shit that they want
America to watch and sample
Never showing you how dirty
That they really is
And that they hide behind they badge
And that they really bitch
I ain't never met a pig in my life
That I ain't want to catch a body
On the jig of my knife
Yeah, that's another fucking topic
For another day
I'm a tell you how they'll try
To get you in another way
They tell you that there's
Something wrong with you
You need they drugs
But there ain't nothing fucking
Wrong with you, they being thugs
They sell drugs in commercials
At the same time
Lock a motherfucker up for the same crime

In the land of make believe, you are all mine
In the land of make believe, I'm doin' fine
In the land of make believe, you are all mine
In the land of make believe, I'm doin' fine
In the land of make believe, you are all mine
In the land of make believe, I'm doin' fine
In the land of make believe, you are all mine
In the land of make believe, I'm doin' fine
