about

[in Frank Zappa's voice] This is a song about bullshit. It doesn't keep you regular, It's not good for ya. [My voice] This song expresses my sheer disbelief and horror at the situation we all find ourselves in. This is a gut cry against rampant disinformation, endless lying, stupidity, lazy thinking, lack of perspective, and reflexive acceptance of the worst of human impulses. Which are all too prevalent in the current lunacy. It’s not ok. We can do much better. And have some laughs in the process.

lyrics

A lie is just a lie no matter how it's dressed, it may be
Full of cussing words or say it's truly blessed
I know you think you're Caesar or the world's greatest magician
But baloney don't become the truth, just by repetition

You can pull out all the stops, the whole kit and ca-boo-dle
You can say your mangy little mutt’s, a pedigreed French poodle
You can show your preening portrait, and call it a Van Gogh
But sooner or later, baby, everybody's gonna know

That A Lie is Just a Lie, no matter how you spin it
It's gonna come back and bite ya, baby, Any minute
You'll fall flat on your face if nothin' real is in it
A lie is just a LIE

You bring out the worst of everyone, you're spreading such ill will
Your smile is as phony, as an eleven dollar bill
There ain't no music in your words, no poetry or rhyme
Instead you leave a trail - just like a snail - leaves a slime, because

A Lie is Just a Lie, no matter how you spin it
It's gonna come back and bite ya, baby, Any minute
You'll fall flat on your face if nothin' real is in it
A lie is just a LIE-IIIIIIIII!!! E-iiiiii

You can dress it up any way you like, you can put on a helluva show
you can smother it with pink lip gloss or tie it in a bow
You may have a coat of arms, your very own un-i-ver-si-ty but if there's only
Gas behind it, you mean nothin' at all to me, because

A Lie is Just a Lie, no matter how you spin it
It's gonna come back and bite ya, baby.... Any minute
You'll fall flat on your face, if nothin' real is in it
A lie is just a lie, A lie is just a LIE-IIIIIIIII
