LIE DETECTOR
We have reviewed your yellow form / Congratulations! / We find you qualified / You have just the right capacity / For putting up with our nonsense / There’s just one thing you’ve got to prove / We know how you must be dishonest and lazy / If you’re so desperate / You actually want to work at this place / You must be guilty (Lie Detector) / You’re guilty (Lie Detector) / You’re guilty (Lie Detector) / Guilty ‘til you’re proven innocent / These days… / Blood pressure clamps around your arms / Now don’t get nervous when we yell in your face / We know you steal- / Just who do you screw? / With what?! / With who?!? / Aren’t you a Christian?!?!? / The polygraph - don’t make it move / One little twitch, the anvil drops on you / Don’t matter if you told the truth / We want your facial egg for out file / Now you’re guilty (Lie Detector) / You’re guilty (Lie Detector) / You’re guilty (Lie Detector) / ‘Til you’re proven innocent these days / Guilty - ‘til proven innocent / Guilty - it says so on your face / Guilty - when you try to find / A place to live or a job that pays / Guilty - when you file a complaint / Against the cop that kicked / Your face last night / Guilty - it says so on page 3 / Guilty - Who’d think a guy like me / Would plant some drugs in your car / Break in your house while you’re asleep / Open your mouth, bet your ass you’re watched / And it’s your word against ours / Yeah, just because we’re hiring you / That don’t mean we trust you at all / You’ll have to take a test like this / Once or twice every week / We know machines, they make mistakes / Yeah, it’s your word against our deaf black box / The machine is always right / ‘Cause we know how it makes you feel so small / Because you’re guilty (Lie Detector) / You’re guilty (Lie Detector) / You’re guilty (Lie Detector) / ‘Til you’re proven innocent these days / No one’s innocent these days / ‘Cause when you’re innocent it just don’t pay
