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
