I've got no politics no influential friend or two

I've got ideas but it's nothing I picked up at school

I might be running but I'm never running back to you



And here's a letter from the real world I don't expect you'll reply

And anything you're gonna tell me it's just another lie



I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by

You've got no power and my situation don't apply

You ask me how I am I lie and say I'm doing fine



And with your sugar sweetened alibi there was a truth I never knew

And all the attitude you gave me it's coming back to you



String of lies it's always compromise with you

String of lies you know there's nothing left to do

String of lies it's been a string of lies with you



And here's a letter from the real world I don't expect your reply

And anything you're gonna tell me it's just another lie



String of lies we always compromise for you

String of lies you know there's nothing left to do

String of lies it's been a string of lies with you

String of lies we always compromise for you

And here's a letter from the real world
