I see it everywhere I look Folks actin' like they wrote the bookSee they're the next big thing, they're livin' the dreamThey cast a line, got the world on a hook But it's not reality, just the real they wantyou to see Covered in half-truths and tall talesLoose fangs, bone-out of skin Drive-names, independent earsBuilt up with smoke and mirrors They set up like a house of cardsSo they'll look bigger than they really are Cause talk's much cheaper than payin' your duesLet that mouth run, it'll take some thought And they know they can charge a hefty priceIf it shines and the label looks nice But it's all half-truths and tall talesLoose fangs, bone-out of skin Drive-names, independent earsBuilt up with smoke and mirrorsAnd it doesn't take too long for it all to come down with a crashAs the smoke clears and someone shatters the glassWith half-truths and tall tales Loose fangs, bone-out of skinDrive-names, independent ears Built up with half-truths and tall talesLoose fangs, bone-out of skin Drive-names, independent earsBuilt up with smoke and mirrorsSmoke and mirrorsSmoke and mirrorsSmoke and mirrors
