lyrics

I HAVE NEVER LIED
(à la They Might Be Giants)

I have never lied to anyone
that kind of thing is done by liars
I have never lied to anyone
that was my brother who yelled "Fire!"

Everything I've ever said is true
Especially all the things I said to you
If I ever lied to anyone
I would know because I'm honest

I have never cried to anyone
that kind of thing is done by babies
I have never cried to anyone
no matter how absorbent they be

Every tear I'll ever shed, I'd hide
This is really easy when you stay inside
If I ever cried to anyone
I would laugh because I'm lying

I swear to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, so help me God
but I'm left-handed

I will never side with anyone
that kind of thing is done by losers
I will never side with anyone
who said that beggars can't be choosers?

All opinions people have are wrong
except, of course, the ones that you hear in this song
If I ever side with anyone
it's because I cleaned my mirror

I will never die for anyone
that kind of thing is done by people
I will never die for anyone
just to eat dirt beneath a steeple

Every minute I'm alive will be
a new chance to hear my name read on TV
If I ever die for anyone
they had better take full credit
