What lies beneath? --Derek Hines 1st Verse Political banter assuaging the masses The middle, upper and much lower classes The tales they tell in a bout for election Ones about them defy all recollection Pre chorus Makes me wonder how We can believe them now Chorus What lies beneath? All of the lies Is there honesty Hidden in disguise What lies beneath? Empty promises Can we believe? What either man says At the end of their speech What lies beneath? 2nd The less of two evils aint much of a choice A common man has trouble finding his voice In an unbalanced sea of corruption and greed Who the hell’s fighting for America’s needs? Chorus What lies beneath? All of the lies Is there honesty Hidden in disguise What lies beneath? Empty promises Can we believe? What either man says At the end of their speech What lies beneath? 3rd Election Day comes and I’m casting my vote Wish I could see their face when they see what I wrote Wrote in three candidates for the land of the free Honesty sincerity and integrity Chorus What lies beneath? All of the lies Is there honesty Hidden in disguise What lies beneath? Empty promises Can we believe? What either man says At the end of their speech What lies beneath?
