Liar, liar, pants on fire......

An altar-ego c’n sumtimes be a trubblin’ thing, it c’n pop up when you don’t expect it ‘n put words in your mouth that you maybe didn’t intend to say out loud...that said, using it to express tho’ts that otherwise wudn’t get said at all.....well, that c’n be cathartic.....which is the main reason I began this blog anyway....
I don’t know about you but the sniping back ‘n forth ‘tween Barama ‘n McCain is already getting old...altho’ I think McCain’s flip-flopping is based on circumstance as opposed to Barama’s political expediency....all of which is a round-about way of saying that you c’n tell when a politician is lying if his (or her) lips are moving......

Pay it as you go
Justin Other Smith

When you’re standin’ there asweatin’
that you might not make the cut,
when the truth don’t come real easy
and a lie might save your butt.

You might think that it don’t matter
if you tell a little bitty lie,
just to save a bodys feelings
or you don’t want’a see ‘em cry.

‘N fibbin’ just a little bit
is mostly just bein’ polite,
so’s you don’t hurt somebodys feelin’s
or maybe have to fight.

Little white lies are common,
folks tell ‘em by the yard,
‘cause telling lies is easy,
it’s the truth what comes so hard.

You c’n always find a reason
to justify a lie,
makes it mighty tempting
to let yourself slide by.

To stretch the truth a little bit
just so’s you can claim
that it wasn ‘t really you at all
but someone else to blame.

To tell the bare-bones truth,
well, it often ain’t enough,
sometimes ya gotta dress it up,
maybe add a little stuff

So’s you might avoid some punishment
or maybe win a prize,
but there’s always someone, somewhere,
that knows you’re tellin’ lies

‘N it’s hard to remember sumtimes,
the lies that got you in a mess,
so I’ve found through trial and error
that truth is ever best.

Sumtimes, when you’ve told a lie,
and there ain’t no other out,
you just gotta stand and take it,
Cause, that’s what life’s about

For there ain’t no freebies in this world,
and everybody pays, y’know,
what goes around sure comes around
you better pay it as you go.
