    I don't think it's right. At the end of that song (I don't remember the name) But they go into this big, dramatic chorus, where they repeatedly tell the listner to lie. It goes like this:
Lie lie lie...BOOM!  Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie. Lie lie lie...BOOM! Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie...
Mommy told me to always tell the truth.

lolz    :)  
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.
Bill Cosby.

That sounds like  The Boxer.  I like that song.  
Sir Isaac Newton invented the swinging door....for the convenience of his cat.

I am just a poor boy and my storys seldom told
Ive squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest, still the man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmmmm

When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

Li la li...

Asking only workmans wages, I come lookin for a job, but I get no offers
Just a comeon from the whores on 7th avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

Now the years are rolling by me, they are rockin even me
I am older than I once was, and younger than Ill be, thats not unusual
No it isnt strange, after changes upon changes, we are more or less the same
After changes we are more or less the same

Li la li...

And Im laying out my winter clothes, wishing I was gone, goin home
Where the new york city winters arent bleedin me, leadin me to go home

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains
Yes he still remains

Li la li...
Sir Isaac Newton invented the swinging door....for the convenience of his cat.

Geez. I only know a few Simon and Garfunkel songs. Uhm.. Sound of Silence? Mrs. Robinson? Don't know what else but they're a great duo together.

 I always thought it was Die da Die.  I thought it was awfully hateful lyrics coming from a couple of hippies
