Oldest Trick Lyrics - Singles - Chris Velan

Gonna take more eyes than the eyes that you have in your head 

To see what's happening gonna take more teeth 

Than those in your mouth to chew it all down 

Gonna take more brains than the brains that you have in your skull 

To find the answers 'cause these days information stinks 

There are enough lies here to fool the Sphinx 

The newest version of the oldest trick 

It's been working since they wrote that book 

And you say that it makes you sick 

But not before that it made you look 

Gonna take more words than the words that can roll off your tongue 

To express that there is a way better than this to be free 

Gonna take more hands than the hands that grown on your arms 

To chip away the tired veneer 

It's thick as a myth 

You don't know what you're messing with 

The newest version of the oldest trick 

It's been working since they wrote that book 

And you say that it makes you sick 

But not before that it made you look 

Oh well, it started so long ago with 

Just a few rich men they 

Wanted to protect what they had but the 

Problem with freedom is 

Everyone wants some and 

If all are equal then the poor might get mad 

So they found enemies, built up mythologies 

To keep the people from snooping around 

It worked so well we can no longer tell 

Where the truth turns to dust who to kill who to trust 

The newest version of the oldest trick 

It's been working since they wrote that book 

And you say that it makes you sick 

But not before that it made you look
