about

They Lie is a hopeful song drawing attention to a particular self-given privilege style of sovereignty (which still exists in today's society), in hopes that it will force conversation and bring to face this demeaning way of rule and self-given authority. History has been written but the future can definitely be improved. Presenting the observation in such a way that it allows people to reflect and soul-search to look for and come up with solutions in our society. Privilege can only exist if we allow it.

lyrics

THEY LIE © Alexander Zarbo 2021

Remember when those men came
Waving privilege all in shame
Goes way back, way back to before
Fast forward today, town came to play
Forcing privilege in our stay
Noise way high, way high, thunders roar

They will have to face it
Nothing can erase it
You know, you know, you know, you know
If they knew the ending
Right from the beginning
They'd know, they'd know, they'd know, they'd know

These are the times where the truth hurts
Small reconciling in short blurts
These are their lies and we know it, and they know it
No compromise from the big guys
They take offense to the up-rise
These are their lies and we know it, and they know it, and they know it

Making humane change is quite a battle
Selflessness pushes from the heart
History repeating over and over
Sadly privilege controls once again

Remember when those men came
Waving privilege all in shame
Goes way back, way back to before
Fast forward today, town came to play
Forcing privilege in our stay
Noise way high, way high, thunders roar

They will have to face it
Nothing can erase it
You know, you know, you know, you know
If they knew the ending
Right from the beginning
They'd know, they'd know, they'd know, they'd know

These are the lives that are broken
These are the words left unspoken
These are all lies and they know it
You know, you know, you know, you know...

(Outro sang in "Round" harmonies)

No compromise from the big guys
They take offense to the up-rise
These are their lies and we know it
They'd know, they'd know, they'd know, they'd know

These are the times where the truth hurts
Small reconciling in short blurts
These are their lies and we know it, and they know it
They'd know, they'd know, they'd know, they'd know

No compromise from the big guys
They take offense to the up-rise
These are their lies and we know it

If only life were l I like a dream
