Shady Cloaks Of Lies

(Em)
Shady cloaks of lies, the Devil’s favorite game
(Am7)
Pulls ‘em ‘cross their eyes, a dirty rotten shame
(E7) (A7)
so they won’t even realize that they’ve been fooled & they’ve been framed
(Asus2) (D) (C/D) (B/G) (G) (Em)
by the shady cloaks of lies, one of the Devil’s very own favorite games

“Tell ‘em there’s no plan, that there’s no purpose at all,

Tell ‘em it’s coincidence their living on this ball
Tell ‘em God is dead, no one will catch you when you fall
& pretty soon you’ll have’em so confused & scared, you’ll see they won’t resist at all”

(A7)
(Ch.:) Shady cloaks of lies from the time children go to school
(E7)
Shady cloaks of lies, only a few know they’ve been fooled
(A7)
Shady cloaks of lies from the cradle to the grave
(D) (C/D) (B/G) (G) (D) (Em)
The truth was crucified with Jesus, but He rose again so that we could be saved

Try to count each piece of dirt polluting every land

Try to count each chemical, each dead bird in the sand
Try count all crimes & evils, every hair on every skunk,
& you still won’t come up with the amount of lies that you’ve been handed by the punk

(Ch., 1st v.)
