Verse
G C
I tell people, you just going through changes
G C
And that you’re acquainted both with night and day
G C
That your money’s good and you’re just being courageous
G C
On them burning bridges knowing your feet are made of clay
G C
Well I say you won’t be destroyed by your inventions
G C
That you brought it all under captivity
G C
And that you really do have all the best intentions
G F C G
But you’re making a liar out of me
[Verse 2]
G C
Well I say that you’re just young and self-tormented
G C
But that deep down you understand
G C
The hopes and fears and dreams of the discontented
G C
That threaten now to overtake your promised land
G C
Well I say you’d not sow discord among brothers
G C
Nor drain a man of his integrity
G C
That you remember the cries of orphans and their mothers
G F C G
But you’re making a liar out of me
G F G
But you’re making a liar out of me
[Verse 3]
G C
Well I say that, that ain’t flesh and blood you’re drinking
G C
In the wounded empire of your fool’s paradise
G C
With a light above your head forever blinking
G C
Turning virgins into merchandise
G C
That you must have been beautiful when you were living
G C
You remind me of some old-time used-to-be
G C
I say you can be trusted with the power you been given
G F G
But you’re making a liar out of me
[Verse 4]
G C
So many things so hard to say as you stumble
G C
To take refuge in your offices of shame
G C
As the earth beneath my feet begins to rumble
G C
And your young men die for nothin’, not even fame
G C
I say that someday you’ll begin to trust us
G C
And that your conscience has not been slain by conformity
G C
That you stand up unafraid to believe in justice
G F C G
But you’re making a liar out of me
G F C G
You’re making a liar out of me
[Verse 5]
G C
Well I can hear the sound of distant thunder
G C
From an open window at the end of every hall
G C
Now that you’re gone I got to wonder
G C
If you ever were here at all
G C
I say you never sacrificed my children
G C
To some false god of infidelity
G C
And that it’s not the Tower of Babel that you’re building
G F C G
But you’re making a liar out of me
G F C G
You’re making a liar out of me
G F C G
Now, you’re making a liar out of me
