Why You Lie (To The People's Face)?

[Intro] [Spoken, Lou Reed style]
Yeah, they say history repeats itself,
But this ain’t no déjà vu…
It's just the same ol’ con job, 
with a brand-new suit.
(chuckles)

[Verse 1]
Felon of the United States, took the stage,
Said, "Project 2025? That ain't my page!"
Then he winked, shook hands, took a corporate check,
Told the working class, "Better learn to stretch!"
(Boing!)

[Chorus]
Why you lie to the people’s face? (Doo doo doo…)
Tax breaks for the billionaires, y’all just gotta keep the faith! (Ba-da-bap!)
Why you lie to the people’s face? (Doo doo doo…)
Say it ain't yours, but the blueprint's in your suitcase!

[Verse 2]
No more no-fault, sorry, honey, you’re stuck,
They say marriage is sacred, but your prenup's a duck.
(Quack!)
Abortions? Nah. Even in the worst-case ride,
Just pray real hard, hope the stork lets it slide.

[Chorus]
Why you lie to the people’s face? (Doo doo doo…)
Ban the books, rewrite the past, and call it grace! (Hallelujah!)
Why you lie to the people’s face? (Doo doo doo…)
Say you ain’t read it, but it’s signed in your embrace!

[Bridge]
Now listen up, kids! Science is a scam,
So we’ll teach ya flat earth and the great Uncle Sam!
Free lunch is gone, so eat your boot,
And keep drilling oil ‘til the world goes poof! (Explosion sound)

[Verse 3]
ICE got new orders, round ‘em up real tight,
Mass deportations? Camps? Oh, what a sight!

(Marching sound)
The rainbow flag? Sorry, that's passé,
Traditional fams are back, but dad ran away!

[Chorus]
Why you lie to the people’s face? (Doo doo doo…)
FBI’s a threat, but Wall Street’s safe! (Cha-ching!)
Why you lie to the people’s face? (Doo doo doo…)
Say you’re not involved, but the ink ain't fake!

[Outro] [Fading, laughing]
Oh, Felon of the United States,
You can’t rewrite history,
But you sure as hell can plagiarize it…
[Soft harmonica fades out…]

V2:

[Verse 1]
FOTUS swears, hand to the sky,
"Project 2025? 
Oh my, oh my!"
Never heard of it, just fake news,

But the ink’s still wet on his pointy shoes…

[Chorus]
Why you lie to the people’s face?
Why you lie to the people’s face?
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo… 
(Tax the poor, give the rich a chase!)

[Verse 2]
No divorce, no choice, no pill,
More babies, less freedom
Big Daddy’s will.
Cut the checks, raise the age,
Grandma works ‘til she drops on stage.

[Chorus]
Why you lie to the people’s face?
Why you lie to the people’s face?
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo… (Medicine hikes, empty dinner plates!)

[Verse 3]
Public school? Nah, not today,
Let’s pray the science books away.
Jesus math and history white,
Lunch ain’t free, eat thoughts and light.

[Break] [Cowbell hits, comedic whistle blows]

[Verse 4]
Ban the books, burn the past,
Drill the ice, breathe in gas.
Storms are hotter, so’s the rage,
But let’s deregulate that cage.

[Chorus]
Why you lie to the people’s face?
Why you lie to the people’s face?
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo… 
(Arctic melts, but drill away!)

[Verse 5]
Marriage rights? Down the drain,
Single moms? Walk of shame.
Camps for migrants, walls so tall,
But corporate crime? Oh, not at all!

[Bridge] [Jazzy sax solo, ironic military drum roll]
Defund the feds, deploy the tanks,
Pack the courts, give sin some spanks.
Take your rights, give 'em a shove,
It’s “freedom” if you're straight and love… the judge.

[Outro]
Mass deportations, birthright’s gone,
Muslims banned, so move along.
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo… 
(All rise for the holy con!)
 
Why you lie to the people’s face?
Why you lie to the people’s face?
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo… 

[Fade out on hypocrisy’s embrace.]
