[Verse 1]
I remember when the truth still meant a man’s word held weight,
Goldwater stood on principles, even when the stakes were great.
But now the truth’s been buried, under shadows cold and sly,
A party lost its compass to the needle of the lie.
[Chorus]
The GOP’s addiction to the lie,
Selling poison to the people, while the truth just walks on by.
What once was conviction has withered and died,
All that’s left is the firehose, the GOP’s addiction to the lie.
[Verse 2]
Reagan spun his stories, Bush twisted WMDs,
But Trump lit the match and turned lies into disease.
From stolen votes to walls that Mexico won’t buy,
They feed it to the faithful, keep the truth out of sight.
[Chorus]
The GOP’s addiction to the lie,
Building castles out of falsehoods on foundations gone dry.
When the truth disappears, democracy cries,
And the nation bends and breaks from the GOP’s addiction to the lie.
[Bridge]
How many lies can a country survive?
How long ‘til the people stop keeping hope alive?
If we don’t name the poison, it’ll spread until we die,
Democracy’s in danger from the GOP’s addiction to the lie.
[Final Chorus – Big & Dramatic]
The GOP’s addiction to the lie,
It’s a sickness, it’s a weapon, and the people pay the price.
But if we stand for truth, if we open our eyes,
We can break the chains and end the GOP’s addiction to the lie.
