[Intro]
\nRound and round
\n(What’s that sound?)
\nTwist the truth
\n(What’s the use?)<\/p>\n
Talk it loud
\n(Work the crowd)
\nChange the story
\n(Claim the glory)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nA little lie
\n(Watch it grow)
\nTell it twice
\n(There it goes)<\/p>\n
Move the goalposts
\n(Change the rules)
\nPlay the victim
\n(Play the fool)<\/p>\n
Facts are facts
\n(That’s the rub)
\nSpin them sideways
\n(Work the club)<\/p>\n
When the truth
\n(Becomes a threat)
\nBlame somebody
\n(Place your bet)<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nWho’s the enemy?
\n(Who gets the blame?)
\nWho’s the winner?
\n(Who’s in the game?)<\/p>\n
Follow the money
\n(Follow the trail)
\nWhen reason goes missing
\n(Truth goes to jail)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nIs he twisted
\n(A little too tight)
\nYes, he just might…
\n(Have resisted…)<\/p>\n
Rhyme and reason
\n(Reason and rhyme)
\nPerhaps treason
\n(And the highest crime)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nPower hungry
\n(Feed the flame)
\nEvery critic
\n(Gets a nickname)<\/p>\n
Call it justice
\n(Call it right)
\nKeep the people
\n(Primed to fight)<\/p>\n
Make a promise
\n(Break it soon)
\nSell tomorrow
\n(For a cartoon)<\/p>\n
Raise the tariffs
\n(Raise the cost)
\nClaim a victory
\n(Count what’s lost)<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nWhere’s the evidence?
\n(Show your work!)
\nWhere’s the honesty?
\n(Behind the smirk?)<\/p>\n
Check the record
\n(Check the facts)
\nWatch the story
\n(Change its tracks)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nIs he twisted
\n(A little too tight)
\nYes, he just might…
\n(Have resisted…)<\/p>\n
Rhyme and reason
\n(Reason and rhyme)
\nPerhaps treason
\n(And the highest crime)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nTwist it right
\n(Twist it tight)
\nHide the truth
\n(Out of sight)<\/p>\n
Say it louder
\n(Make it stick)
\nSmoke and mirrors
\n(Oldest trick)<\/p>\n
Who’s confused?
\n(Who’s amused?)
\nWho’s the one
\n(Being used?)<\/p>\n
A crown ain’t a conscience
\n(A title ain’t truth)
\nA boast ain’t proof
\n(And power ain’t proof)<\/p>\n
The law stands higher
\n(Than any man)
\nAccountability
\n(That’s the plan)<\/p>\n
No one’s above it
\n(No one’s immune)
\nThe truth keeps knocking
\n(It’s coming soon)<\/p>\n
Rhyme and reason
\n(Reason and rhyme)
\nRead the record
\n(Every time)<\/p>\n
Twisted stories
\n(Twisted tight)
\nBring them out
\n(Into the light!)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nIs he twisted
\n(A little too tight)
\nYes, he just might…
\n(Have resisted…)<\/p>\n
Rhyme and reason
\n(Reason and rhyme)
\nPerhaps treason
\n(And the highest crime)<\/p>\n
Is he twisted?
\n(Who’s to say?)
\nCheck new evidence
\n(Each and every day!)<\/p>\n
Rhyme and reason
\n(Strip away the spin)
\nTruth is waiting
\n(Where facts begin!)<\/p>\n
