Good morning! 
When you look into the mirror
Do you see a face you hardly recognise
If you look into the sun too long 
Do the things you see begin to burn your eyes 

Paper lies

Verse (as before)
=====
Just to express what he's thinking
Must a man take all the mail will bring
Are we living only for today
It's a sign of the times
We believe anything and nothing

When you kill the truth 
You can make a killing
You might just make losing look like winning 

You came to tell the people what's goin' on
But nobody knows whose side you're on
Seems like you're sailin' pretty close to the wind again 

Paper lies

I know something that you don't know
Something that you ought to know 
It's burning a hole in my pocket book 
Listen ... do you want to know a secret? 
We can print our own money here 
If you let us do a piece on you 
We can take you to pieces
