Bullshitter's Lament

Music & lyrics: john popper



I walked clean through the party

Without a sin put to my name

Then they got to know me

Then all the sins they came

To fruitions visibility

I suppose them always there

Back when no one knew me

I saw no need to care



But now such luxury is gone

And i've got to do my part

And the faces that i know, know me

Have laid claim to my heart

Like speculated real estate

Their investment should do well

But me i've bought a ticket

An express train straight to well...



Well perhaps that is self pity

But i'm remembering a dream

Some damn thing about lost love

How foggy it does seem

So now i wade in muck and mire

And they tell me that it's fun

But all it does for me is make me ask

When will it all be done



Please don't be mad i'm sorry

And it's just the way i feel

But its hard enough to spot the lie

And figure out the real

So i maintain and ply my wares

And have my goods to sell

And say to those who gawk and stare

I'll see you all in hell

...i'll see you all in hell!
