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