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
