Lyrics
Intro
Uh
Check
Check the mic
Yeah
Webster
Verse 1
Back on my pivot
Watching the system just rotting away
Telling us how we should pray
Buying the spirit
Feeding us plastic for dinner and lunch
Broken bones and bitter blame
Packing a punch
Pre-Chorus
They keep on lying to the kids
They keep on lying to the town
See the crown
Tearing it down
Chorus
Liar
Liar
Look at the face of a liar
Building a kingdom on top of the pyre
Burning the truth in the fire
Liar
Liar
Liar
Post-Chorus
Liar
Liar
Yeah
Liar
Verse 2
Feeding the fakes
Snake in the grass while we’re cutting the yard
Tryna pull a joker card
No one is safe
Selling your soul for a click and a share
While you’re gasping for air
Nobody there
Pre-Chorus
They keep on lying to the kids
They keep on lying to the town
See the crown
Tearing it down
Chorus
Liar
Liar
Look at the face of a liar
Building a kingdom on top of the pyre
Burning the truth in the fire
Liar
Liar
Liar
Bridge
Check the facts
Count the stacks
Watch your backs
No one's coming to save you
No one's coming to pave you
A path through the madness
Chorus
Liar
Liar
Look at the face of a liar
Building a kingdom on top of the pyre
Burning the truth in
Verse 3
Locked in a cage made of numbers and screens
Hiding the man behind the machine
Collecting the tax but losing the means
Living a nightmare instead of the dreams
Paper is thin and the water is rising
Feeding the wolves while they’re busy disguising
Agenda in hand but we're realizing
The peak of the mountain is just for the sizing
Caught in the middle of red and the blue
When none of 'em give a single thought about you
Only about what they can buy with the view
While the rent goes up and the check is overdue
Yeah
Outro
I see right through the mask
I see the grime under the task
Another script written by a ghost
While the world burns from coast to coast
Game's over
We heard enough
Take your seat
Call the bluff
Keep on spinning your tales
Watch as the balance on the scales fails
Liar
I'm out
(Liar)
(Liar)
Yeah
CT in the building
Webster
Stop the cap
Liar
End
