Things are not what they appear
 Starting with a mother's love
 When a helping [bad word] near
 It [bad word] an empty glove

Things are not what they appear
 Starting with your hopes and dreams
 Just one thing in life is clear:
 Nothing's ever what it seems

Even babies lie
 Even babies lie
 And the stars don't cry

Nothing's ever what it seems
 People lie from ear to ear
 Just to help their little teams
 Which are not what they appear

We are wrong to begin with
 Even if we are sincere
 [bad word] is just a useful myth
 Things are not what they appear

Even babies steal
 Even babies steal
 And the stars don't squeal

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
 Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
 Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
 Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Even babies lie
 Even babies lie
 And the stars don't cry

Even babies kill
 Even babies kill
 And the stars are...still
