All sweetly sung and succinctly stated
Words and music you calculated
To make you sing along
With your stereo on
As you stand in your shorts on your lawn
Get completely incorporated
By some couple who consummated
Their first love by the dawn
A falling star wished upon
And flashed in the sky and was gone
And mouths wet and blonde hair braided
By the back room, the kids all waited
To meet the man in bright green
Who had dreamed up the dream
That they wrecked their hearts upon
Hes the liar who lied in his pop song
And youre lying when you sing along
And youre lying when you sing along
So, heres the car seat, so cruelly weighted
And heres the faces already faded
At the end of the day
When they just threw away
The only good thing that they owned
And now theyre pinned down and strangulated
But at the food court, the floats inflated
People line up to see
The man who dreamed up the dream
That they wrecked their hearts upon
Hes the liar who lied in his pop song
The liar who lied in his pop song
And youre lying when you sing along
Oh yeah, youre lying when you sing along
Week by week, it climbs up and comes on
And were feeling alright, though we know its all wrong
Im ashamed to admit that I cant help resist what I wished was the truth, but its not
And I truly believe were not strong
And well sing till our voices are gone
And Im singing in that manicured lawn
This is respectfully dedicated
To the woman who concentrated
All of her love to find
That shed wasted it on
The liar who lied in this song
