That head line that you read and the story that broke

And all the while they're telling you lies
 
 
 
 
 
Hey mamma, hey 
Hey ma they lied 
 
 
 
Every day you and me we see what we are shown 
Yes its hard to scratch below 
There are people at the top they are hidden far from view 
They're not going to show their faces to the like of me and you 
You never see them out on the street, but you always see the things that they do 
They know that they can get away 
And no price is too high for them pay
