Lyrics

Dreamers and Lies
Words and Music by The Woodmen

Verse one

Tell me lies, lies, lies, lies
Dreamers and lies . . . whoa yeah, yeah
I said ?who do you think you are??
?some kind of super-duper star??
Class - was where we went in school
Won?t stand, stand, stand a ship of Hollywood fools

Bridge
So take your high class ways
And your Big City Eyes
To the stained glass door
marked ?Dreamers and Lies?

Chorus
Oh, whoa, lies, lies, dreamers and lies
Oh, whoa, lies, lies, dreamers and lies

Verse two

Time was when you had chance
Success was in the hip of your pants
You got small ? the snow was everywhere
So cold, cold, cold, but did we really care?

Bridge
So take your high class ways
and your big city eyes
Through the plate glass door
marked ?Dreamers and Lies?

Chorus
Oh, whoa, lies, lies, dreamers and lies
Oh, whoa, lies, lies, dreamers and lies

Guitar solo


Bridge
So take your wing-tipped shoes
and your IzodĀ® smile
To the fork in the road
marked ?Life - one mile?

Chorus
Oh, whoa, lies, lies, dreamers and lies
(oh, yeah)
Oh, whoa, lies, lies, dreamers and lies
I said oh, whoa, lies, lies, dreamers and lies
(sing it)
Tell me lies, lies, lies, lies, dreamers and lies
I said ?you lied.?
