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
