The buffoon and his antics


I never tell the truth...
I even told my five year old that his sister was made out of vanilla
And that mom just tried to make herself grow taller
Yep...even daddy tried it a couple of times...
Wasn't pretty successful as you can see but be assured he tried



I never tell the truth.
It's pathological and runs in the family.
For example when I married my gorgeous, long-legged wannabe Kate Moss wife
I had no idea she came with extra-package
And that her so-called brother was actually her husband running away from the IRS



I never tell the truth
That's the advice the voices in my head gave me when I was committed to the ward
Shhh...now they're gone, they only visit me from time to time especially when I'm on crack
Yo man! And when I think of how of a respectable businessman I was....What a shame!



I never tell the truth.
Nobody ever does so why should I? Or you? Come on, don't try to fool me...I know you're a liar
It's all over you. And be honest, have you ever seen a truth-teller?
Of course, you haven't. They're like elves and leprechauns, fairy tale creatures.



I never tell the truth.
Truth's a monolith of pitch where lies are so much sweet
Who in their right minds would eat lemons
When they can bath in all the ambrosia that a capitalist system can provide?



I never tell the truth
But the more I grow old the more I think I do, especially when the kids keep questioning my authority
That never happened before but I guess you should expect the worst when your boy bites his sister
And the wife glares at you and casts the evil eye: "You moron! Telling him she's made out of vanilla. Who do you think they are? Gingerbread versions of Hansel and Gretel?!"



I never tell the truth
Though I go to the confessional many times and what does it matter if there's nobody to judge and sentence
Better for me. As if those figures aren't a pack of liars as well.
I bet they're already part of a club entitled: "There's no lie we can't tell". "For son, your salvation is in the hands of our merciful Father."



I never tell the truth
And I'm pretty sure there's a spot in Hell with my name on it.
No worries though. I bet when I get there, they're gonna give me a medal and say::"Good job!" - while shaking my hand
Yes that's daddy alright, right where it belongs.



I never tell the truth
For the obvious reason of course. What will that be, you ask?
Well brother, truth is relative for each and everyone of us
Why should I tell you my truth when it doesn't concern you. And what's so frickin’ important anyway that makes you wanna die for the sake of it?



I never tell the truth
And I sleep just fine at night. Oh....Exceptions make the nights when my lovely, brighter than the sunshine wife makes me go change the diapers
My goodness, how much I lover her. Not!!!
Yet I'm not a jerk. I say the right words at the right times and duck myself out of trouble. Voila! The rabbit and the hat.



I never tell the truth.
'cause even if I'd tell it you'd think is a lie
Yet if this is a lie than maybe I ain't a phony.
And actually, that's about all that I had to say.
