Dar Williams Liar
Out where the children all get their own rooms
Where they stir coffee with old silver spoons in their mansions
There's a girl that the whole town can see
Doesn't fit in but they all know that she understands them
And they want to know where the kid came from
She won't tell anyone
But they know she's a liar that's what they know
She's a liar that's what they know
You do what you have to do
Maybe you could be a liar too
There's a school where she goes everyday
Everything that you could want, if you pay you can find there
She came in with a dream and a plan
Learned how to use movie cameras and started to shine there
And they want to know where the kid came from
She won't tell anyone
But they know she's a liar that's what they know
She's a liar that's what they know
And if she had to
She could turn the camera right on you
As for the teachers they all knew her crime
When she was everyday always on time, they saw through her
She took the train from the city at dawn
Broke through the woods and she crept through the lawns to her future
So maybe they know where the kid came from
They won't tell anyone
And they know she's a liar, well, that's what they know
She's a liar just because
She reached higher they are so proud
Of their liar they are so proud
You do what you have to do
Maybe you could be a liar too
