Good Lie

Tell me it's easy
 And the sailing is smooth
 Look how far we've traveled
 And how little we've moved
 Tell me it's worth it
 All this crossing of lines
 "There's a rainbow at the end
 And we'll get there in time"
 Tell me that good lie
 And we'll see this through
 There's time still left for spending
 But you know that we're damned if we do
 Tell me we'll fix this
 Though the damage is done
 Who says the war is over
 When the battle is won?
 Pretend you've got answers
 And I'll try not to ask
 There's a rainbow at the end
 And I'm up for the task
 Oh, good lies
 We'll see this through
 There's no time now for spending
 And you know we'll be damned if we do
 Tell me that good lie
 And we'll see this through
 The job's not mine for taking
 But I'll be damned if I leave it to you
