Another revisionist song, this time with lyrics written by Gerard Menuhin. See link below.
I used an irregular metre for the song, both compound and binary with bars of 9/8 plus 6/8 or, alternatively, 3/4 which together give a time signature of 15/8. An interesting challenge.

Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil by Gerard Menuhin - www.amazon.com/Tell-Truth-Shame-Devil-2015/dp/193778729X
Tell me more lies
So I can sleep tonight
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me everything's all right
Love them lies
(Lies) like walls in prison
Stack them up tight
Television is tunnel vision
Blocks out the light
Love them lies
Time to know better
When it's too late
Lie me news and weather
So I submit to my fate
Love them lies
(spoken)
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
Keep faking the law
And shortening my breath
Truth is a lost case
Just lie me to death
Love them lies
Just barcode and chip me
And sing me a song
You know you can turn me off
If I go wrong
Love them lies
Keep them coming
Love them lies
Love them lies
