People talk, talk is cheap Lips are moving, what do they say? I'll do this and you do that Your good intentions, they don't seem to last very long Now you're loud in my ear What are you saying? What do I hear? Puzzles, puzzles, that turn into lies Puzzles, puzzles, surprise, surprise I'll be there, so count on me What's the word? It comes easy, easy, easy Falls right off, off the tongue I remember, truth meant something when we were young Now you're loud in my ear Whisper something, what do I hear? Puzzles, puzzles, that turn into lies Puzzles, puzzles, surprise, surprise I met many, but still I'm sad Where's the truth? I'm hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry in the world It's becoming common, it's the status quo Is this really standard normal? Scream out loud in my ear What are you saying? What do I hear? Puzzles, puzzles, that turn into lies Puzzles, puzzles, surprise, surprise Oh! Oh!
