I'm always confused by everything
I can stare into a thousand eyes
But every smile hides a bold-faced lie
Vladimir Vysotsky - Parable about Truth and Lie
Although, his speeches, they carry little worth.
- Pure Truth, the time of her triumph will be certain to come,
If only she dared all that bold-faced Lie has done.
Angaleena Presley - Pain Pills
When Hazel Jean died, her mother tried to say it was pneumonia
The minister's wife told a bold-faced lie to protect her daughter's name
When half of the congregation was hooked on the very same thing
