You Lie Like A Rug

NSFWLiner Notes
Watching our so-called "president" and his poodle JD shaking down one of the last defenders of what's left of the free world on behalf of Putin like crooked thugs with room temp IQ's has me raging. All Pumpkin Pol Pot does is lie through his teeth...
EZ Drummer, Bass, Guitar, B-3, complaining.
Lyrics
Fake hair Fake makeup Forced fake smile Contrived boob tube Personality But just a scheming crocodile
Cock of the walk In front of the cameras You think it’s great TV Sold out your soul To be the one in control But we can all see
You make sport of People you perceive as Worthless and weak No compassion No empathy No virtues to seek
A vapid empty suit Rotting from the root No one can stand the smell Wallow in pretense Your bullshit’s immense Your mouth is powered by hell
All you do is lie Just a mendacious thug All you do is lie Can’t believe a word you say You lie like a rug
You have No truth in you Hardly a surprise It’s obvious to me You are a truest son Of the Father of Lies
Cock of the walk In front of the cameras You think it’s great TV Sold out your soul To be the one in control But we can all see
All you do is lie Just a mendacious thug All you do is lie Can’t believe a word you say You lie like a rug

Great title! Killer organ sound - reminded me of early Kansas (one of my favorite bands), right off the bat. Great production overall, sounds great! Killer vocal. And your title drew me in, had a inkling what this was gonna be about. Excellent job of writing an original lyric on that guy.

I love, love, love the B3 sound - incredible solo! (I try to re-create it on my keyboard and don't come close.) And what a righteous, raging rocker! Wow!

Once again, I am rocked and delighted by the political spirit that flowed out of so many of us this FAWM. This is a jam full of righteous anger. The tone of the lyric and your vocal delivery are just right with the music. I love the metal growl in the repeats of "you lie." The B3 is so good.

This rocked my socks off and spoke truth (not complaining!). I enjoyed how you allowed your voice to play with the melody. The B-3 is super.

“Mendacious” isn’t used often enough these days. Right there with you on the anger and disgust.

Wow! I feel the rage too. And you channel it so well. These lyrics are perfectly evocative and the instrumentation is excellent. I love love the rock organ. Incredibly done!

Okay, that's a bop. Love the vocal, and these are super cool lyrics. "Father of lies" is a fantastic Biblical reference. I am a fan.
