Lyrics

Verse 1
It was the perfect crime
The judge and jury bought and sold
and you think you won’t do the time
cause you have the perfect alibi
Just a mental game
prosecution and defense
one and the same
you tell yourself the same old lies
believing in your own disguise
Chorus 1
But don’t be smug with those alibis
They may just turnaround and
kick you in the face
leave you in disgrace
It’s such a dangerous guise
when you are your own alibi
Verse 2
It was the perfect place
no way it could be traced
do you really think you’ve got it made?
secure in your masquerade?
Are you prepared to cross that line?
Fully trust your partner in crime?
Well, I guess you don’t have a choice
since he’s using your own voice
Chorus 2
Beware of death by a 1000 little lies
they’re sure to drive you insane
But don’t be smug with those alibis
They may just turnaround and
kick you in the face
leave you in disgrace
It’s such a dangerous guise
when you are your own alibi
Bridge
No need to give ‘em proof
No need to speak the truth
But don’t let yourself be fooled
cause you’re the only one (who) can make a fool out of you!
Instrumental

Chorus 3
Beware of death by a 1000 little lies
they’re sure to drive you insane
But don’t be smug with those alibis
They may just turnaround and
kick you in the face
leave you in disgrace
