Deny. Deny. Deny.

"You lied."

Remember on that playground, when you were only five?
You accidently pushed your sister, she broke her knee and cried
Your mom was walking up the bend so
What'd you do?
You lied
That's when you learned the golden rule
Deny. Deny. Deny.

You found yourself in school, stressed outside your mind
Tearing up your notes, losing hours night by night
So you bent the rules a little, stole for just one time
And when it came to haunt you?
Deny. Deny. Deny.

You were pining for an office, so you grinded long past five
Selling risky stocks to grandmas, the markets sure to thrive
Closing more calls everyday, more cells to build your hive
And when the markets called your bluff?
Deny. Deny. Deny.

You found yourself an office, an oval one, your prize
You told yourself 
this would be 
the time to get it right
Then war broke out, children burned, the soldiers you sent died
And when the media called for blood and blame?
Deny. Deny. Deny.

You went to tuck your daughter in, just like every night
She'd seen a horror on the news, gave her quite a fright
She asked you how to be a person, how to do it right?
You opened your mouth to speak but
What could you do?
You lied
Cause all you ever knew how to do was
Deny. Deny. Deny.
