If you tell a lie again and again
It does not become the truth in the end
If your voice is loud and your lies are well heard
Still it does not mean
A transformation has occurred
Water isn't wine
Brass isn't gold
One day you'll account
For all the lies that you told
If you take the forest if you steal it tree by tree
If you blacken the river if you desecrate the sea
You can wave your arms
You can shout out from on high
But the truth is still the truth
And a lie is still a lie
Water isn't wine
Brass isn't gold
One day you'll account
For all the priceless things you sold
Two faced yes fool
Pin striped suit ghoul
Two faced yes fool
Pin striped suit ghoul
You can make a promise
And some people might believe
That you are not beholden
To the power and to the greed
But if they should fall ill
Or their schools should fall down
Should they fall on hard times
Well I doubt you'll be around
Water isn't wine brass is not gold
And it's wrong that we should pay
For the crown that you stole
Water isn't wine brass is not gold
One day you'll account
For all the lies that you told
One day you'll account
For all the lies
One day you'll account
For all the lies
One day you'll account
For all the lies
One day you'll account
For all the lies
One day you'll account
For all the lies
One day you'll account
For all the lies
One day you'll account
For all the lies
One day you'll account
One day you'll account
For all the lies
One day you'll account
For all the lies
One day one day
