Little White Lies (I Don’t Wanna Go Back)

A long time ago according to the lore
To immigrant parents a child was born
Daddy made some money, he gave it to the boy
But the boy wasn’t interested in children’s toys

He said I have a dream, I think I’ll be the king
Then I can be the boss, the boss of everything
I don’t need laws, I’ll just make rules
If I say it, it must be true

Those little White Lies, That’s the way to go
Cover Mouth, Ears, Eyes - You vex me so

Donny had a dream, he said “I’ll take the lead”
But Donny had a problem see, Donny couldn’t read
So he threw himself in with the Right-Wing crowd
If he couldn’t talk good well then he’d talk real loud

Kelly was a racist and Mikey was a drunk
Mitchie was a turtle, a hegemonic punk
But when they all assembled the crowd gave a cheer
“They can set set us back a hundred years!”

(CH)
Those little White Lies, That’s the way to go
Cover Mouth, ears, eyes - You vex me so
No conscience, no heart, tearing me apart
You really need to talk about it
I don’t wanna go back to when the world was flat

Turn back the radio, Turn back the clock
Before Mom hit Dad, before my country was a crock
They’re taking up arms for the common cause
Against the scourge of science and Newton’s laws

Copernicus was persecuted, spent life in a cell
And if we are not careful we’ll end up in one as well
Sailing off the edge into the Pleistocene
Don’t put me in the “Way-Back” machine

(CH 2 X)
