Group Self-Deception (It’s Alright) You lie to your boss when you’re late for work, Lie to the preacher, ‘cause you ain’t at church, Lie to the doctor about the packs you smoke, Lie to the cops about the laws you broke, It’s alright. Yeah it’s alright. You’re gonna do what you wanna and you wanna think that it’s alright. Lie to the dentist about flossing your teeth, Lie to the scale about what you eat, Lie to your wife about where you’ve been, Lie to your man ‘cause you were with his friend last night. Yeah, but that’s alright. You’re gonna do what you wanna and you wanna think that it’s alright. CHORUS Take me down, I’ll take you down. Take me down and I’ll take you down You take me down and I’ll take you down. I’ll take you down… Lie to the taxman and fudge some receipts, Lie to your kids about the birds and bees, Lie to your folks about the money you make And the ballplayers lie about the drugs they take, It’s alright. Yeah that’s alright. We like to do what we wanna and we wanna think that it’s alright. Lies in the election with the hanging chads, They lied about the reason for a foreign attack, Lied while our economy walked the plank, They took the money from the people, gave it all to the banks, It’s alright. Yeah that’s alright. They’re gonna do what they wanna and they make us think that it’s alright. Lie as the ocean fills with oil. Lie about the chemicals in the soil. Lie about making that coal burn clean, Sell our children’s future for some gasoline, it’s alright. Yeah that’s alright. We like to do what we wanna and we wanna think that it’s alright. We’re gonna do what we wanna so we justify that it’s alright. c2011 Angela Easterling
