Fibbing for fun

"Fibbing for fun" is a social commentary on people who enjoy stirring up trouble for others as a form of entertainment. The song appears as a B-side to "Wake me up tonight" from the album Veritas. While Dan liked the song, he thought that the word "fibbing," despite its alliteration in the title and hook of the song, was "a bit of a rubbish word. It's kinda flaccid, 'fibbing'!"

Lyrics

Be careful whom you tell your stories to
Soon enough, they'll sell them with a lie 
Of you
Don't be foolish and make things worse
By facing the liar
They love seeing you curse

In this jungle
They're fibbing for fun
To get a reaction
Acting so dumb

In this party
They're fibbing for fun
Alcohol-infused liars
Emotionally numb

How will you learn who to trust
When only one or two
Want what's best

What will it take to cut out the poison
When the mycelium leads up to your feet

In this jungle
They're fibbing for fun
To get a reaction
Acting so dumb

In this party
They're fibbing for fun
Alcohol-infused liars
Emotionally numb

I can't believe
That you would lie to me
Use my gullible whimsy
To push this story

They're fibbing for fun
They're fibbing for fun

In this jungle
They're fibbing for fun
To get a reaction
Acting so dumb

In this party
They're fibbing for fun
Alcohol-infused liars
Emotionally numb
