Don’t Believe What You Read

[Verse 1]
As soon as I wake up every day
I look at the papers to see what they say
I know most what I read will be a lot of lies
But you learn really fast to read between the lines

[Chorus]
'Cause I know ('Cause I know) what I read ain't true
I know (Yes, he knows) and I'm telling you
I know (Yeah, we know) if they say it's red, it's blue
Don't believe what you read
Do you believe what you read?
No, I don't believe what I read, ooh

[Verse 2]
"I never put it down in writing" the old man said
I didn't know then but now I know what he meant
If you wonder why your letters never get a reply
It's when you tell me that you love me, I wanna see your eyes

[Chorus]
'Cause I know ('Cause I know) what I read ain't true
I know (Yes, he knows) and I'm telling you
I know (Yeah, we know) if they say it's one, it's two
Don't believe what you read
Do you believe what you read?
No, I don't believe what I read

[Post-Chorus]
And if you pick up a book and you're starting to read it
I'll tell you what you'd better do
You can read it till the end and even if you believe it
That don't mean to say it's true

[Bridge]
Don't believe what you read
Don't believe what you read
Don't believe what you read
Don't believe what you read, oh yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
'Cause I know ('Cause I know) what I read ain't true
I know (Yes, he knows) and I'm telling you
I know (Yeah, we know) if they say it's one, it's two
Don't believe what you read
Do you believe what you read?
No, I don't believe what I read

[Post-Chorus]
And if you pick up a book and you're starting to read it
I'll tell you what you'd better do
You can read it till the end and even if you believe it
That don't mean to say it's true

[Outro]
Don't believe what you read
Don't believe what you read
Don't believe what you read
Don't believe what you read, oh yeah!
