When The Lie's So Big Lyrics - Frank Zappa For President - Frank Zappa

They got lies so big 

They don't make a noise 

They tell 'em so well 

Like a secret disease 

That makes you go numb 

With a big ol' lie 

And a flag and a pie 

And a mom and a bible 

Most folks are just liable 

To buy any line 

Any place, any time 

When the lie's so big 

As in Robertson's case,(That sinister face 

Behind all the Jesus hurrah)Could result in the end 

To a worrisome trend 

In which every American 

Not 'born again'Could be punished in cruel and unusual ways 

By this treacherous cretin 

Who tells everyone 

That he's Jesus' best friend 

When the lie's so big 

And the fog gets so thick 

And the facts disappear 

The Republican Trick 

Can be played out again 

People, please tell me when 

We'll be rid of these men! Just who do they really 

Suppose that they are? And how did they manage to travel as far 

As they seem to have come? Were we really that dumb? People, wake up 

Figure it out 

Religious fanatics 

Around and about 

The Court House, The State House, The Congress, The White House 

Criminal saints 

With a 'Heavenly Mission' --A nation enraptured 

By pure superstition 

When the lie's so big 

And the fog gets so thick 

And the facts disappear 

The Republican Trick 

Can be played out again 

People, please tell me when 

We'll be rid of these men!
