I was born a liar Thrown into a fire Raised in anger like a gun Beat down into the mire And my first steps on crutches I stumbled into their clutches And it never crossed my mind to resist They told me I was born for this Just change the channel for a while I'll be asleep here soon I do not care to know what's happening outside this room You drink your tea and I will sit here stoney-eyed If we can make it through this one I think we'll be alright I tried to say I'm sorry
But it came out all wrong I told you not to worry And then the liar came along Put your blue party dress on And I'll wear my one good suit And we don't even have to talk to anyone Just drink their wine and eat their food I was born a liar Apprenticed, trained, and sired Conceived outside romance I never even had a chance I tried to say I'm sorry But it came out all wrong I told you not to worry And then the liar came along I tried to say I'm sorry
