Letra Lies de Cock Sparrer original

Cheats never prosper, crime don't pay, The meek shall inherit come judgement day,
Peace in our time, no pain no gain, management decisions, insurance claims,
The slow but sure will always win it, there's one born every minute

Chorus>
It's a lie

The cheque's in the post, you won't feel a thing, the power of prayer and the deadly sins,
You're as young as you feel, your mother knows best, the truth will out, young man go west,
The end can justify the means, God save the queen

Chorus>

Breeding counts, lambs to the slaughter, who dares wins, blood's thicker than water,
Expense accounts, graduation days, a friend in need, a spade's a spade,
The power and the glory, the country's burning, the lady's not for turning

Chorus>

Mega-buck deals, interest rates, fortune tellers and the hand of fate,
Credit ratings, human rights, the seven wonders, another street fight,
Global warming and cleaner seas, here come the cavalry

Chorus>
