I Can't Believe the Lies

Robert James

The 2026 RPM Challenge is underway at last. Idea number 11 becomes song number 1.

Simple little rocker. It’s not bad. My guitar playing is bad and my singing is worse and more often than not the songs are atrocious, but I’m kinda digging this one.

All guitar parts are a Gibson Les Paul Custom into a Fender Bassbreaker 15. No pedals this year, just plugged straight in.

Verse 1 & 3
Once more for the unforgiven
No way we could get it back
Given that the truth is hidden
behind a misplaced attack

Verse 2
True words that cannot be spoken
So much for the people’s rights
All promises have been broken
held squarely within your sights

Chorus
I can’t believe the lies (2x)

Break
So much for that
Last chance has passed
All over

Other break
I can’t even bare to look at you now
