Everybody Is A Fucking Liar - The Posies

Everyone I know is trying to get into this show

Everybody is a fucking liar

Time and time again

Whoever’s in the room is your friend

Everybody is a fucking liar

There’s no mercy here

A mercy killing of abject fear

Everybody is a fucking liar

Act brave in the press

Conventionality’s what I detest

Everybody is a fucking liar

And you who reject masculinity:

Baby, I’m with you

As soon as you forsake virility and aggression too

Back off in disgust

Must honesty jeopardize trust?

Is everybody such a fucking liar?

Damsels in dismay

A man’s an Edsel in his own way

Everybody is a fucking liar

And just as God in his his infinite infancy thinks he’s in control

That’s when God in his infinite infamy

Decides to damn our souls

Let’s throw it all in

And think of places to back up & begin

To build something higher

'Cause everybody is a fucking liar

Everybody is a fucking liar

Everybody is a fucking liar
