When The Lie's So Big
Get your goodie
You know, I couldn't him Loafer's real good stuff
Hey, you oughta try some
They got lies so big
They don't make a noise
They tell 'em so well
Like a secret disease
That makes you go numb
With a big ol' lie
And a flag and a pie
And a mom and a bible
Most folks are just liable
To buy any line
Any place, any time
When the lie's so big
As in Robertson's case, that sinister face
Behind all the Jesus hurrah, could result in the end
To a worrisome trend
In which every American
Not 'born again' could be punished in cruel and unusual ways
By this treacherous cretin
Who tells everyone
That he's Jesus' best friend
When the lie's so big
And the fog gets so thick
And the facts disappear
The Republican Trick
Can be played out again
People, please tell me when
We'll be rid of these men!
Just who do they really suppose that they are?
And how did they manage to travel as far
As they seem to have come?
Were we really that dumb?
People, wake up
Figure it out
Religious fanatics
Around and about
The Court House, The State House
The Congress, The White House
Criminal saints
With a 'Heavenly Mission'
A nation enraptured
By pure superstition
(Do you believe in the invisible army?)
When the lie's so big
And the fog gets so thick
And the facts gets forgotten
And the Republican Trick
Can be played out again
People, please tell me when
We'll be rid of these men!
You know, I couldn't him Loafer's real good stuff
