Luke B.. - Dirty Rotten Liar

I try to be honest
I try to do what's right
But I can't seem to help
Just telling one more lie

Should I feel guilty?
Is it really wrong?
I go ahead and tell one more lie
And feel no guilt at all

I get a call at home
They say they need assistance
I say I'm sick in bed
But I really don't want to go the distance

I try to steal something at the store
But before I leave I get caught
I didn't remember it was in my pocket
I swear I just forgot!

My mother calls me up
She says that she is sick
Sorry Mom I can't come
I'm stranded on a ship!

The IRS comes to my house
They say I cheated on my taxes
It's my accountants fault I say
Why not go and harass him?

I get called to court
I witnessed a crime
I told a little lie
But I got caught this time

Because of my little lie
I was charged with perjury
So now I'm stuck in jail
Telling my cellmate I killed a jury

Luke B..
