It wasn't even difficult, I hardly had to try

Just my human nature, damned hard to deny

And it started with one little white lie

Lie, lie, pretty little lie ... compromising

Lie, Lie, one shade at a time ... one shade at a time

Lie, lie, dirty little lie ... no disguising

Lie, lie, an addiction to crime ... an addiction to crime

And you're no different than me, the disease the same

And you're not different from her, only the symptoms change

Only the symptoms change

The disease ... the disease remains

I didn't think it possible, it's all beyond my shame

That my heart is noble, and I believed this game

Now it's started, it's all the same
