You can tell us that it isn't serious   And you can tell us that you'll do it right   You can tell us that you've got it all worked out   You can tell us that it's all for us      But we know you're lying through your teeth      You can tell us that it's for security   And you can tell us it's for our own good   You can tell us that we wouldn't understand   And you can hide behind your practiced grin      But we know you're lying through your teeth   You will bare the brunt of liability, it will be a stone   Around your neck, drowning you in irresponsibility   Underneath the weight of your regret      You can sell our secrets for your benefit   You can toss our bodies in the ground   You can ship our children off to battlefields   You can wipe the blood from both your hands      You can tell us that it's indisputable   As you throw away the evidence      But we know you're lying through your teeth   You will bare the brunt of liability, it will be a stone   Around your neck, drowning you in irresponsibility   Underneath the weight of your regret
