Liar, liar, your pants are on fire   You' ve got a nose as long as a telephone wire   I swear to tell the truth   Nothing but the truth   So help me God   I cross my heart and hope to die   These are the words we use   To get out of situations   Then I wonder why   We don' t mean what we say   Then I remembered the terrible truth   About the truth         Chorus:   If you stand for the truth   You will always stand alone       The holy book tells us   The truth will set us free   But in this world I know different   Do you believe in the truth   Do you believe in righteousness   Do you believe in innocent   Till proven guilty   'Cause those that tell the truth   Are always on the run...Oh God   Then I wonder why   We don' t mean what we say   Then I remembered the terrible truth   About the truth         Chorus
