Pure Lies chords and lyrics - GLEN WASHINGTON

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]It is pure lies,
they refuse to tell the truth
All they teach the youth is pure lies
They didn't tell you about
us in the pages of history
All they spoke about us is pure lies
They didn't tell you
King
Solomon was an
African
All they mention of him, that he was white
They [Dm]teach him to [C]live [Am]your life
Divide [Dm]and conquer to [C]the right, y[Am]our life
They segregated blacks
from being with whites
And sent their fathers,
told them it's not right
Now keeping the people
hungry is their strategy
And when it's time to eat,
you've got to fight
[Dm]They're teaching
the [C]children to [Am]lie
Divide [Dm]and rule
Winston
[Am]Christ, [C]you[Am]r life
[Dm]Dirty children the [C]children, [Am]your life
Divide [Dm]and rule
Winston
[Am]Christ, [C]you[Am]r life
Now the whole wide world bows
down to his majesty
Some foolish ones will try to criticize
He's the power and the order of the
Trinity
You can see it in the fire in
His eyes
They didn't tell you my
people arose from royalty
All they want to do is keep
us and stay free
Your [Dm]lies, your [Am]lies,
[C]please tell me [Am]why
[Dm]They're teaching [Am]the
chil[C]dren [Am]your lies
[Dm]They're teaching that
[C]you love you[Am]r life
Divide an[Dm]d rule with the
[C]Christ, it's [Am]your life
They [Dm]teach him [Am]that [C]you have to [Am]lie
Divide an[Dm]d rule, divid[C]e and ru[Am]le
And when they tell you about
Christ it's tainted history
Cause they try to make him
white but it's not right
He's a friend to all who is
humble and who is me
You can find him if it's
Jah
Jah love you see
They tellin' the children pure lies
It's not wise
No, no, no, no, no, no
Ooh
Pure lies
Tellin' pure lies
They tell the youth pure lies
They refuse to tell the truth
