Summoned through a keyhole
In a lunchbox for three
Take me to your followers             
And the swingset police
You can't see the weather
You've got to pull the blinds
Tellin' you questions  
Askin' me lies              

Well the rich are gettin' richer
And the poor are gettin' drunk
In a black and white picture
There's a lot of grey bunk     
Man, you're hittin' them books
And hittin' their streets   
Won't be hard to find
Tellin' you questions
Askin' me lies

Happy birthday       
Whosever birthday it is today
Born yesterday         
It's a wonder you're still alive
And they're tellin' you questions
And they're askin' me lies   

Little Boy Zoo
An' the rock with his helpful friends
Butterfly train                 
Never ends, never ends        
At a Mexican Bar Mitzvah     
For seven hundred years   
The selfish pray              
You're gonna drive right by/live live
Tellin' me lies      
And they're askin' me lies
Tellin' you questions
Askin' me lies
              
Happy birthday               
Whosever birthday it is today
All the sex spit in it
Gone down on this fight
Tellin' you questions            
Askin' me lies

They're telling you questions
And they're asking me lies
Telling you questions                
And they're asking me lies
Askin' me lies        
Lies 
Lies...
