Big Lie!!!

Big Lie
Words & Music by Rik Emmett

I pick up my guitar to lay the message down
'bout the crazy kinda things that make the world go around
like the money, the power, the glory on high
everybody' livin' with The Big, big Lie, yeah... c'mon

Profiteering corporations party line says
"Trust in us people, everything'll be fine", but that's a
Big Lie, baby that's a Big Lie
The disappearing forest should be no cause for alarm
The greenhouse effect won't do you any harm, it's all a
Big Lie, they're selling us a Big Lie
It's the age old game of supply and demand,
we're eating up the plantet just as fast as we can, and it's a

Big Lie, gettin' bigger all the time, it's a
Big Lie, yeah, the truth is hard to find in the
Big Lie, hoo, yeah, it's a Big, Big, Big, Big, Big, Big Lie
Such a Big Big Lie

Taxes goin' up like a hot air balloon
The rich keep gettin' richer while the poor keep gettin' screwed
to feed The Big Lie, welcome to The Big Lie
The politics of power, out of reach & out of touch
& all their fancy talkin' never did amount to much in The
Big Lie, oh beware The Big Lie
The deficit grows like Pinocchio's nose, while we
gaze in admiration at the Emperor's new clothes, it's The

Old time religion on the TV everyday,
sellin' tickets to heaven in the fundamental way
The media tells it like it is, without a doubt, but for a
rating point of two they'll sell you short & sell you out
From Broadway to Hollywood it's always the same, but it's the
burned out myth of sex & drugs & rock & roll
The check is in the mail, & God is on out side
Don't Worry, Be Happy; live The Big Lie, yeah, yeah, yeah; hoo hoo.

Oh, no matter how you slice it, it's always the same
The Big Lie seems to be the name of the game
And you can play it if you want, you'll prob'ly get what you deserve
I guess it just depends upon which master you serve
Does my song ring true? You get to decide,
or is it just another chapter in The
Big Big, Big Big, Big Big, Big Big, Big Big,
[aw come on & help me out here; c'mon now]
Big Big Big Big Big Big Big Big Big Big

big big like?.........[heh, heh, heh]....
