Liar, Liar.

The children stole the innocence,
And then they ran away.
Parents left with picture frames
And memories to stay.

They turn their backs on fun and games;
They run to sex and drugs.
Questions fly around the room,
Denied with nods and shrugs.

"They all grow up so fast."
"It skids by in a blur."
Did you ever get the double meaning
Caught inside these words?

And I know it's not your fault,
But I know more that it's not mine.
Who am I to go against
What's been taught my whole life?

And the children, they're all spies.
They cover up with tricks and lies.
And I really can't remember
Who to blame.

Liar, liar,
Pants on fire.
Burn their ass to hell.
