Maybe honesty is one of those made up concepts like the American dream.
Maybe it’s something we are supposed to strive for and never be able to achieve.
It’s hard to live the life we live, and spout out facts and true opinions.
Cuz lies can smell sweet as roses, and the truth can smell like onions.
One lie can spin your world around as if caught in a hex.
How dizzy are we all after speaking to the opposite sex.
We get so spun around we start believing the lies to be truth.
It’s something we can’t help, we’re programmed since youth.
What mama all I did was tell Grandma she’s fat.
No baby you can’t talk to anyone like that.
The truth can be poisonous to our way of life.
It’s best to stick to lies and avoid strife.
So I honestly lie to your face every day.
Cuz honest dishonesty is the true American way.
