Liar! Liar!
Liar! Liar!
Liar! (Liar!) Liar! (Liar!)
Liar (Liar!), Liar!
Verse 1
You're an Elvis Pressley, Frank Sinatra, Cher- Madonna Michael Bolton Thief
You stole my scattin, jazzin, gospel, rappin, ragtime, dancing , hooks and all my beats! (Uh huh!)
All your Grammys, Oscars, Tonys, Emmys, songbooks and reviews are a bore (Come on!)
You documented and recycled my culture and now you call it yours.
Chorus
You're a liar
And a cheat!
A caniver
And a beast!
You're a liar
And a cheat!
A caniver
dirty beast!
Verse 2
You analyzed, disected, and translated all my music turning it to math!
Like a tic you sucked Mahalia, Hartman, Dizzy, Billie, Aretha, and James Brown.
And then you labeled it crossover, writing it down and thinking that this farce
Would last. (Well, well!)
Now matter how you try to recreate don't you know that Memorex don't last.
Chorus
You're a liar
And a cheat!
A caniver
And a theif!
You're a liar
And a cheat!
A caniver
dirty beast!
Bridge
The voices of the dead
Are all in your head
We want back what you stole
All that glitters ain't gold
What came before
You can not ignore
(Not ignore!)
Vamp
You’re a liar!
A caniver
I got my rock, you got, your Bach so let’s agree to carry on!
Got my gospel sellin’ chicken, but I will not take a lickin’ so come on!
Repeat as desired
