He told her that he was working late again
She would never doubt a thing, was never part of hypocrite games
Time went by, he thought it was time to stop fooling around
It was now late 'cos she had left, there's no one to put up with his crap.

Lonely heart this night Didn't fear your lies
Rain drains frames of life this time
Now don't close your eyes to what's inside.

Lie, cry, smile, crime Now until the day I die
If needed for something are needed in this
Fraud, rot, wrath, low, driving people up the walls
If needed for something are needed just to grow.

He said no, your skills don't meet our requirements
Didn't meet none of the company's racial preferences
Time went by, he's locked up in a grandpas' house
Little fellow is now to serve him watching after him while he sleeps.

Lonely heart at night They became good pals
Old man can't recall that frame of life Black man does as if it was yesterday, but he'll never say.

Lie, cry, smile, crime now until the day I die
If needed for something are needed in this
Fraud, rot, wrath, low Driving people up the walls
If needed for something are needed just to grow.

Lonely heart this night, didn't fear your lies.
If needed for something are needed in this
Lie, cry, smile, crime Now until the day
I die If needed for something are needed in this
Fraud, rot, wrath, low Driving people up the walls
If needed for something are needed in this

Lie, cry, smile, crime Now until the day I die.
