          Lyrics

          You keep reading me the Book of Lies 
          You keep reading me the Book of Lies

          And you keep giving me
          And you keep reading me 
          The Book of Lies
          The Book of Lies
          Book of Lies
          You keep telling me, Book of Lies
          The Book of Lies
          Book of Lies
          Book of Lies
          The Book of Lies

          You keep reading me the Book of Lies 

          I don't like what I'm doing to you
          You don't like what you're doing to me
          Don't make me cry
          The Book of Lies
          The Book of Lies
          The Book of Lies
          The Book of Lies

          You don't listen to anything I say or do anything you promised to do
          So why should I?
          So why should I?
          The Book of Lies
          The Book of Lies

          You keep reading me the Book of Lies 
          You keep reading me the Book of Lies 

          You don't listen to anything I say or do anything you promised to say
          So why should I listen to ...
          Subject to the Book of Lies
          The Book of Lies

          You keep reading me the Book of Lies
          Book of Lies

          You keep reading me the Book of Lies 
          The Book of Lies
          You keep reading me the Book of Lies 

          Book of Lies
