Story behind the song
people who lie over a long period of time generally begin to believe that they are actually telling the truth, so i guess i just thought singing about a few things that i'd rather have done to me than listening to another lie would be appropriate
Lyrics
babe, stop your lying, stop you lying, you wearing it like a vail, so you go ahead and send your mail, to the papers and advertise how much you need me, cause it would make me a big star, it would help me to go far, maybe in politics, shove me into traffic and hang me by my balls, propagandize me and surround me with walls, force me into a barrel and float me over niagra falls, show me how horrible it feels to withdraw from alcohol, why cause i said so, and i said so.
and tell me a story that ends with a fiery crash, and tell me the one about the junky who accidentally flushed his stash, why cause i said so and i said so. . .but watch me, watch me real close cause i'm sly, i'll get away when you're not looking i have a getaway car it's parked in kansas city, yeah mama i'll drive to padre and i'll hide out with all the students then i'll drive to l.a. that's when i'll start up the band. so why don't you thank me, thank me for being your friend and rest assured that i'll always make a stand for you anytime of the day yeah. . .but be careful with me cause i'm a very very fast man, you'll never catch me if i make it to the van, yeah. . .why cause i, it's not the same, it's not the same as before no things have changed since before. . .so kiss me and turn my heart into fire then rip it out and call me a liar, why cause i said so yeah i said so yeah.
