Lyrics: Rilan Roppolo
Music: Rilan Roppolo
This ain't no lullaby
But I can make it rhyme for you
Yeah, I can try, I can try to lie
If you want me to, and
This ain't no symphony
But if you wanna sing with me
Then I can try, I can try to lie
Little boy blue's in love with Jill
But silly Jill stays at home with Will
He hits her, don't kiss her, but pays the bills
For their perfect family
Jackie be nimble, Jackie be quick
When Jackie jumped off the roof, "he slipped"
Said the bully, "don't worry 'bout lunatics
He shoulda been happy"
Life is harder when we try
To turn a blind eye to others
This ain't no lullaby
But I can make it rhyme for you
Yeah, I can try, I can try to lie
If you want me to, and
This ain't no symphony
But if you wanna sing with me
Then I can try, I can try to lie
In a lullaby
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la)
Babydoll's more than meets the eye
But every guy still objectifies
Bonita Lolita who shows her thighs
Cause she's "asking for it"
The blacker your face, the bigger the crime
The harder the chase, the longer your time
White men still win if you survive
The beatings and bullets
Life is harder when we try
To turn a blind eye to others
This ain't no lullaby
But I can make it rhyme for you
Yeah, I can try, I can try to lie
If you want me to, and
This ain't no symphony
But if you wanna sing with me
Then I can try, I can try to lie
In a lullaby
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la)
(Oh) Why do you wanna lie?
Why do you wanna lie?
Why do you wanna lie in a la-la-lullaby?
Why do you wanna lie?
Why do you wanna lie?
Why do you wanna lie in a la-la-lullaby?
This ain't no lullaby
But I can make it rhyme for you
Yeah, I can try, I can try to lie
If you want me to, and
This ain't no symphony
But if you wanna sing with me
Then I can try, I can try to lie
