lyrics

I work in lies
Write the news to sell the papers
Spread our editor's agendas
I work in lies

I work in lies
Manufacturing the scandals
We're the literary vandals
I work in lies

We'll hack your phone now, baby
We'll tell you lies
Track down your car and then we'll cut your tires
We'll hack your phone now, baby
We won't think twice
Tell us your secrets or we'll print your life

I work in lies
Holding sway in the election
Cast your vote in our direction
I work in lies

I work in lies
Chase celebrity affairs
But protect the millionaires
I work in lies

Never wanted to be a writer
I'm in too deep and if I run, I run, I run, I run...
They'd hunt me down like a fighter
I know too much, I'd see the gun, the gun, the gun...

We'll hack your phone now, baby
We'll tell you lies
Track down your car and then we'll cut your tires
We'll hack your phone now, baby
We won't think twice
Tell us your secrets or we'll print your life
