David Baerwald - Liberty Lies lyrics

Your rating:

"We've got a different kind of murder out here,"

The man on my TV said

A random kind of feeling starts to fill the air

And we're left here to count the dead

The next channel over

Some ladies were talking

From the Committee of Oh My God

A woman stood up

Started screaming about Satan

The audience roared with applause

And a pollyanna shouted

A pollyanna cried

A pollyanna leapt up with that sorrow in her eyes



We've got liberty lies and refugees

Big brass bands and amputees

But there's hope for the hopeless if there's hope for me

Cause baby I've been crawling

I been crawling

Liberty, lies and refugees

And trembling hands and shaky knees

But there's homes for the homeless if there's a home for me

Cause baby I been crawling



On the Cable News Network a fireman sobs

Tears making tracks through the ash

I look out my window to see if I'm being robbed

See an overcoat ploughing through the trash

We got Kentucky Fried Chicken

We got an empty soup can

We got noodles and rice from the cafe

A man selling god appears quoting scriptures

The same way he does everyday

We got pollyanna shouting

And pollyanna cries

We got pollyannas leaping with that sorrow in their eyes



We've got liberty lies and refugees

Big brass bands and amputees

But there's hope for the hopeless if there's hope for me

Cause baby I've been crawling

I been crawling

Liberty, lies and refugees

And trembling hands and shaky knees

But there's homes for the homeless if there's a home for me

Cause baby I been crawling



It's like I'm walking through Rome

Tenements all torn apart

Instead of nero, we got madonna

She's fiddling with herself



Phrases and faces keep coming on through

Put 'em under a microscope, try to see 'em through

Spin 'em round this way and spin 'em round that

but there's birds in the air with long claws



Liberty lies and refugees

Big brass bands and amputees

But there's hope for the hopeless if there's hope for me

Cause baby I've been crawling

I been crawling

Liberty, lies and refugees

And trembling hands and shaky knees

But there's homes for the homeless if there's a home for me

Cause baby I been crawling
