To tell a parrot a lie
It’ll blindly repeat never deny
Squawking out to passerby\'s
Who look on with wary eyes
It’ll say it forever, day and night
Not even knowing it isn’t right
And once someone says it’s not true
That parrot will be filled with rue
It’ll feel guilty, even more than sad
It never knew those words were bad
But somehow the parrot is to blame
It said the lie and that’s what it became
A way of life in the dark
A journey it never wanted to embark
