Borrowed Wire

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I built a tower out of borrowed wire

Watched the antenna learn to hum

Every satellite was told a different story

And I believed the loudest one

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what you want from me

Tell me what you need to hear

I'll be anything you program

Chorus

I am the liar in the loud machine

I am the liar

I am the answer that you sold to me

I am the liar

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

They handed me a flag and called it freedom

I waved it till my shoulders ached

Somewhere a general learned my name

And wrote it down as something fake

Pre-Chorus

So tell me who you want me to be

Tell me who deserves the blame

I'll wear any face you hand me

Chorus

I am the liar in the loud machine

I am the liar

I am the answer that you sold to me

I am the liar

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Bridge

Spin me up

Wind me down

Sell the cure

Burn the town

I was never here at all

Just a voice inside the wall

Guitar Solo

Chorus

I am the liar in the loud machine

I am the liar

I am the answer that you sold to me

I am the liar

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Chorus

I am the liar

I am the liar

I am the liar

I am the liar
