Lyrics

Face of Lies

Words and Music by The Woodmen

Verse One

The headlines scream
"A double-cross", they say
And the victim is always the truth

More and more
You see it every day
So much for the innocence of youth

Chorus

Our life's a statement made
And every day we decide if our integrity is alive
You may get by today
But at the end of the line, the only face you'll see is the face ... of lies

Verse Two

Back in the day ...
When the truth wore a smile
And a handshake was all that you'd need
Nowadays ...
The truth is always on trial
And our honor has given way to greed

Chorus

Our life's a statement made
And every day we decide if our integrity is alive
You may get by today
But at the end of the line, the only face you'll see is the face ...

Bridge

Lawyers lie for us
Doctors spin for us
We ask ourselves who to believe

Our mothers cry for us
Our soldiers die for us
You're so naive, yeah

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Washington spies on us
Islam laughs at us
It's time that we see

Ending Chorus

Llife's a statement made
And every day we decide if we'll take destiny for a ride
You may get by today
But at the end of the line, the only face you'll ever see ... is the face of lies
The face of lies
The face of lies
The face of lies ... go!

Musical Outro

Look into the face of lies ... yes!
