Timmy tells lies to talk to the people

Timmy tells lies to talk to the people

Timmy tells lies to talk to the people

And the people just won't talk back

Because the people want this

And the people want that

And the people just won't talk back

And Timmy says, ok.

And Timmy says, of course.

And Timmy says, sure, why not.

And the people say, yes

And the people say, thank you

And the people say, Timmy's the best

And Timmy tells lies to talk to the people

And the people listen intently

But one day Timmy tells lies to the people

And the people turn and tell him NO

And Timmy says why

And the people say, because you lied to us

And Timmy says this wasn't how this was supposed to go

So Timmy continues to tell lies to the people

But the people have turned away

And the lies float in one ear and out the other and on to others across the way

And those people listen to Timmy's lies, because they've never heard them before

And it's sad to see the hope in their faces and trust in their eyes

As they stare at Timmy who they simply adore

So.....

Timmy tells lies to talk to the people
