RING OF LIARS
(Sorry Johnny!)

Lies are a burning thing
Inside the political ring
Turned to the Fox Empire
I tuned into a Ring Of Liars

CHORUS:
I tuned into a Burning Ring Of Liars
My mood went down
As the lies got higher

And my anger burned (at)
The Ring Of Liars
The Ring Of Liars

I tuned into a Burning Ring Of Lyin'
And I frowned, frowned, frowned
As the troops were dyin'

And I turned, turned, turned (from)
The Ring Of Liars
The Ring Of Liars

Results of lies are sweet
When Fox makes viewers bleat
Each repeats them like a child
That's when the lyin' burns wild

CHORUS
I tuned into a Burning Ring Of Liars
My mood went down
As the lies got higher

And my anger burned (at)
The Ring Of Liars
The Ring Of Liars

I tuned into a Burning Ring Of Lyin'
And I frowned, frowned, frowned
As the troops were dyin'

And I turned, turned, turned (from)
The Ring Of Liars
The Ring Of Liars
