Lie

Skyscrapers are falling
The country's in disarray
A war's begun in Asia
And the coastguard's run away

Families are breaking
The stock market is down
The president's gone crazy
And the vice, he isn't around

The terrorists run wild
There's talk of monsters in the dark
Cats are dying in the streets
And dogs lie rabid in the park

The world is slipping away around us
There's fire in the sky
And to think that all this horror started
With that one, little, tiny lie
