Liar, Liar

Liar, liar, pants on fire You are one that I admire Sitting on a telephone wire Watching as your words conspire Lies tend to hurt and lies tend to sting Truth is preferred before everything It’s abnormal the way you lie To you, truth seems not to apply You say enough just to get by And always end up the bad guy Lies are used by cowards afraid The truth is always what they evade What’s done in darkness comes to light It’s amazing how you take delight In hurting everyone outright Karma’s coming; it’s just not right Lies are not welcome here at my door Truth is something I always ask for Your lies are big, your lies are small Your lies will become your downfall When you’re down, don’t look up at all I won’t be here when you choose to call Lies don’t speak well of your character Truth will always keep you the victor Fiery lies burning your bridges Has you now sleeping in ditches The truth from now on you should mention Truth hurts less if you pay attention.
