[Verse 1]
A D I tell people, you just going through changes A D And that you’re acquainted both with night and day A D That your money’s good and you’re just being courageous A D On them burning bridges knowing your feet are made of clay A D Well I say you won’t be destroyed by your inventions A D That you brought it all under captivity A D And that you really do have all the best intentions A G D A But you’re making a liar out of me
[Verse 2]
A D Well I say that you’re just young and self-tormented A D But that deep down you understand A D The hopes and fears and dreams of the discontented A D That threaten now to overtake your promised land A D Well I say you’d not sow discord among brothers A D Nor drain a man of his integrity A D That you remember the cries of orphans and their mothers A G D A But you’re making a liar out of me A G A But you’re making a liar out of me
[Verse 3]
A D Well I say that, that ain’t flesh and blood you’re drinking A D In the wounded empire of your fool’s paradise A D With a light above your head forever blinking A D Turning virgins into merchandise A D That you must have been beautiful when you were living A D You remind me of some old-time used-to-be A D I say you can be trusted with the power you been given A G A But you’re making a liar out of me
[Verse 4]
A D So many things so hard to say as you stumble A D To take refuge in your offices of shame A D As the earth beneath my feet begins to rumble A D And your young men die for nothin’, not even fame A D I say that someday you’ll begin to trust us A D And that your conscience has not been slain by conformity A D That you stand up unafraid to believe in justice A G D A But you’re making a liar out of me A G D A You’re making a liar out of me
[Verse 5]
A D Well I can hear the sound of distant thunder A D From an open window at the end of every hall A D Now that you’re gone I got to wonder A D If you ever were here at all A D I say you never sacrificed my children A D To some false god of infidelity A D And that it’s not the Tower of Babel that you’re building A G D A But you’re making a liar out of me A G D A You’re making a liar out of me A G D A Now, you’re making a liar out of me
