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, wrath, low, rot
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 grandpa's 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, wrath, low, rot
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, wrath, low, rot
Driving people up the walls
If needed for something are needed in this
Lie, cry, smile, crime
Now until the day I die
