Mother's milk and angel hair, holy books and bones

Breakfast on the lawn in the sweet September sway

I don't understand that sound on the radio
C F A# A#maj7 A#6
Only playing that song cause they told you to
C F A# A#maj7 A#6
If man makes God in his own image

It doesn't mean that it makes it true

Just a little white lie, little white lie

Little white lies, little white lies

Kills art, kills love

And it's killing you

Just a little white, little white lie

C F A# A#maj7 A#6
Wanna make a little money, give your weight and your measure
C F A# A#maj7 A#6
Keep your numbers high and the wolves at bay

You could wind up in the Metro Guilty Pleasures
C F
Once you get your name in that little black book
A# A#maj7 A#6
You can sign your life away
[Chorus]
C F
To a little white lie, little white lie
A#
There in all that you do
C F
