When they tell you
I’m not a prisoner
don’t believe them.
They’ll have to admit it
someday.

When they tell you
they released me
don’t believe them.
They’ll have to admit
it’s a lie
someday.

When they tell you
I betrayed the party
don’t believe them.
They’ll have to admit
I was loyal
someday.

When they tell you
I’m in France
don’t believe them.
Don’t believe them when they show you
my false I.D.
don’t belive them.

Don’t believe them when they show you
the photo of my body,
don’t believe them.
Don’t believe them when they tell you
the moon is the moon,
if they tell you the moon is the moon,
that this is my voice on tape,
that this is my signature on a
confession,
if they say a tree is a tree
don’t believe them,
don’t believe
anything they tell you
anything they swear to
anything they show you
don’t believe them.
And finally
when
that day
comes
when they ask you
to identify the body
and you see me
and a voice says
we killed him
the poor bastard died
he’s dead
when they tell you
that I am
completely absolutely definitely
dead
don’t believe them.
don’t believe them.
don’t believe them.
