Protest The Hero Gift Horse
Is it the truth or a lie?
As determined by
Heavy breathing or a sudden spike
Is it the truth or a lie?
As determined by
Heavy breathing or a sudden spike
Just a few simple questions to start us out
Your name and your occupation
As I monitor the needle for the slightest variation
Just a few simple questions to start us out
You wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth
And if you did, you'd know it wasn't right
So tell me, what you doing there last night?
So lie to me
Provided we will still know the truth
The horse wе provided was long in the tooth
But you ride it to death
Because you needed an answer
And the answer was always a—
Lie to me, just lie to me
I don't care at all
The truth is what I make it
The gavel will fall
On the heads of guilty
Whether they're guilty at all
What exactly is the difference
Between a liar and a coward?
Futile insistence—there's a world between them
What explains their identical outcome?
“Beyond my expectation, [for] uncontrollable factors
This scientific investigation became for practical purposes
A monster"
So lie to me
Provided we will still know the truth
The horse we provided was long in the tooth
But you ride it to death
Because you needed an answer
And the answer was always a—
Lie to me, lie to me
I don't care at all
The truth is what I make it
The gavel will fall
On the heads of guilty
Whether they're guilty at all
And I hate this
I hate what this has become
My finest moment is done
And as I fade into obscurity
Take these gifts now as your own
Lord, let their faith atone
Just remember you're a liar just like me
Just like me
Just like me
Just like me
Just like...
