did they go and try and turn your brown eyes blue // Em G Am C
and are they tryin to take away your soul from you
girl don't let you ever let 'em do that to you // Am C
girl you just gotta stay true // Am Em

and did they try and tell you if you wanna be cool
you should use violence and act like a fool
boy don't you ever let 'em say that to you
boy you just gotta stay true

CHORUS

stay true stay true // Am Em
no matter what you do // Em Bm Em
stay true stay true
no matter what you do
the world around you will lie to you // Am Em
but say no to the lies and stay true // Bm Em
say no to the lies and stay true
say no to the lies and stay true

stop!

and listen, listen quit you're whisperin' and listen // G D
the world's being run by some criminal villians // Am C
they own the mafia, the media, and the military
they ship the drugs take your guns yeah it's gettin' scary
but there's only one thing you can do
the same thing that you always do
say no to the lies and stay true

CHORUS
