Tricked the Machine

I respect you enough
 To tell you the truth
 I could spin some false complements
 Would you think that's more couth?
 I could, I could, write us a song
 And only tell the good sides
 Would you say that I've made amends?
 That you prefer all the lies
 I'm spinning the handle and I've
 Tricked the machine
 This is only hiding the pain
 Still got no vaccine
 I can try to soften my words
 To lessen the blow
 I could spin some false complements
 But there 's something you should know
 I could tell all your friends
 Were doing fine
 I could give them false confidence
 were(?) not in decline
 I'm spinning the handle and I've
 Tricked the machine
 This is only hiding the pain
 Still got no vaccine
 I'm spinning the handle and I've
 Tricked the machine
 This is only hiding the pain
 Still got no vaccine
 I respect you enough
 To tell you the truth
 I could spin some false complements
 Would you think that's more couth?
 I could, I could, write us a song
 And only tell the good sides
 Would you say that I've made amends?
 That you prefer all the lies
 I'm spinning the handle and I've
 Tricked the machine
 This is only hiding the pain
 Still got no vaccine
 I'm spinning the handle and I've
 Tricked the machine
 This is only hiding the pain
 Still got no vaccine
