Ive got no politics no influential friend or two
Ive got ideas but its nothing I picked up at school
I might be running but Im never running back to you

And heres a letter from the real world I dont expect youll reply
And anything youre gonna tell me its just another lie

I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by
Youve got no power and my situation dont apply
You ask me how I am I lie and say Im doing fine

And with your sugar sweetened alibi there was a truth I never knew
And all the attitude you gave me its coming back to you

String of lies its always compromise with you
String of lies you know theres nothing left to do
String of lies its been a string of lies with you

And heres a letter from the real world I dont expect your reply
And anything youre gonna tell me its just another lie

String of lies we always compromise for you
String of lies you know theres nothing left to do
String of lies its been a string of lies with you
String of lies we always compromise for you
And heres a letter from the real world
