"Jamie's Institution" lyrics - CAGE THE ELEPHANT

Jamie found herself an institution
They claim they'd take away her mind pollution
She sent them a check 'cause they sent her a bill
They gave her a hug and a fistful of pills
Now everyone's happy to see such a beautiful day

Some say a lie tastes better
The truth is much too cruel
They say a lie tastes better
But I know, we know better

Andy was a hyper-active child
At school, they found him always acting wild
He went to the doctor though he wasn't ill
They sent him back home with a fistful of pills
Now everyone's happy to see such a beautiful day

Some say a lie tastes better
The truth is much too cruel
They say a lie tastes better
But I know, we know better

(Gimme some of that bass!)

Louis had a drug addiction problem
He got busted by the cops from whom he bought them
He couldn't pay his attorney or even make bail
They tried him at once and they threw him in jail
Now everyone's happy to see such a beautiful day

Some say a lie tastes better
The truth is much too cruel
They say a lie tastes better
But I know, we know better

Some say a lie tastes better
Some say a lie tastes better
Some say a lie tastes better
But I know

Some say a lie tastes better
Some say a lie tastes better
Some say a lie tastes better
But I know
