Analysis of L. I. E. (Look, I Exaggerate)
Look, I Exaggerate
Political speech is how I masturbate
I lie to your sense of right and wrong
I blow smoke from my deceptive bong
And sing you a liars song
Try to make you believe
Try my best to deceive
I lie for political reprieve
I know it's your pet peeve
But please don't leave
Before I have a chance to deceive
It's your hope in freedom
I wish to cleave
Though I shall allow you time to grieve
And realize my deceptions saturation
Politics
Is the speech of masturbation
So get used to it
Cause it's here for the duration
A cultural icon
Throughout the nation
It's a sad annoying fascination
To listen to your oral constipation
And watch you gag
On your own abomination
L. I. E. (Look, I Exaggerate)
Doesn't really have to be our fate
Eric (and sometimes not)
