Lyrics for Papers (Hades Finds Out)

But the ones who tell the lies Are the solemnest to swear And the ones who load the dice Always say the toss is fair And the ones who deal the cards Are the ones who take the tricks With their hands over their hearts While we play the game they fix And the ones who speak the words Always say it is the last And no answer will be heard To the question no one asks So I ask you as a brother And I ask you as a friend And I ask you as a lover And I ask you once again Is it true what they say?
