Small change in my pocket
I'm gonna spend it like a king
Her trucker's arm
Was hanging from its socket
I guess I should probably
Pop it back in again
But the truth is I kinda like
Watching it swing from side to side
It's like a pendulum with no pride
And I'm swimming and swimming and swimming
Against a great tide
I used to walk on water before this tug-of-war erupted
Yeah, I took it all in stride
Tall tales
Tall tales
Tall, tall tales
And when all else fails
The moral of the story is this
The moral of the story is this
I ain't coming home from a war I'm yet to fight
With my tail between my legs
I wasn't late for work 'cause I was brushing me tegs
No, I bumped into a modern-day Robin Hood and his band of merry men
I ended up spending that small change on a stale loaf for me
And ten gallons of ale for them, ugh
I can see now how history's doomed to repeat this scene
The whole "absolute power corrupts absolutely" thing, if you know what I mean
'Cause statistically speaking
For all the good men of history who have ever been
For their name to have even graced your lips
They had to have been lying through their t-t-t-teeth
Tall tales
Tall tales
Tall, tall tales
And when all else fails
The moral of the story is this
Moral bankruptcy reigns supreme in the American dream
The fatted calf suckling at the teat of some fucked-up Ponzi scheme
You're hardly being dragged, kicking and screaming
I'm merely tugging at your sleeve
With a smile that could make peace in the Middle East
I've got those teeth you can believe in
So you send a tall tale up into outer space
It gets picked up by some far-off alien race
But they've heard all of this before
To them it's just another time and place you misremembered
When your brain made a small change to the tall tale you were telling
Tall tales
(Tall tales)
Tall tales
(Tall, tall tales)
Tall, tall tales
And when all else fails
The moral of the story is this
The moral of the story is this
The moral, the moral, the moral, demoralise me
The moral, the moral, the moral, woohoo
The moral of the story is this
La, la, la, laa
The moral of the story is this
