I only know what I been told
And I been told a lie
So does that mean I should fall in line
Or get left back high and dry?
I only know what I been told
And I been told a lie
Even when the truth don’t fall on deaf ears
It passes before blind eyes
I been bushwhacked, led astray
Completely misinformed on the events of the day
I been took, bamboozled, lied to my face
Told I had a voice and then put in my place
I only know what I been told
And I been told a lie
So does that mean I should fall in line
Or get left back high and dry?
I only know what I been told
And I been told a lie
Even when the truth don’t fall on deaf ears
It passes before blind eyes
Mr. Politician, I call u magician
‘Cause u say the magic words an’ make the issues disappear
Mr. Politician, I call u magician
‘Cause u say them magic words and this is what we hear:
Taxcut, schmaxcut, bippity-boppity backs cut
Mo’ jobs, schmo jobs, nippity-noppity no jobs
Medicare, schmedicare, dippity-doppity dead-i-care
Social security, schmocial schmecurity, flippty-floppity flocial flecurity
I only know what I been told
And I been told a lie
So does that mean I should fall in line
Or get left back high and dry?
I only know what I been told
And I been told a lie
Even when the truth don’t fall on deaf ears
It passes before blind eyes
