A Bone To Pick

Lyrics

Liar (A Bone to Pick)

Introspoken

"The house, the car... and the dog... go to the petitioner. Respondent will pay. Monthly." "...The dog too?" "Then I got a bone to pick."

Verse 1

A cross of the threshold is part of the process It leads to the door, the exit or egress This life you have led is verily hot mess Get down on your knees and pretend you can confess You won't confess, you rehearse and you dress Your tears are a tactic, a play for the press You took my last dollar and called it success Then posted a selfie, too blessed to be stressed Liar! Liar, and unrighteous thief You take all you can, and cause only grief Masked is your face, and your thinking is brief Empty inside, you have no belief Till death do us part? It was more like a lease Every check that I wrote bought a minute of peace You collected the rent and I'm stuck with the beef So if death do us part, then just mark me deceased

Chorus

(Liar!) - you were bone of my bones (Liar!) - now you're colder than stone I worked to the bone and you threw me a bone Now I got a bone to pick - bring back my throne! (Liar!) - keep the house and the loan (Liar!) - you and all of your clones 'Cause a throne ain't a chair, it's a man on his own Bring back my throne! Bring back my throne!

Verse 2

You think you have earned that row which you hoe When fake it to make it is all that you know You suck and you blow, everyone knows Your entire life was made up of woe Woe to the women with charms in their sleeves Huntin' for souls, what a web that they weave He tears off the charms, gives the hunted reprieve The souls fly away (now watch 'em all leave!) Imposters are many, and seekers are few And roses are red, but you are a shrew Get out of the way, your time here is through You wasted your life, you epitomize rue You said "I do," but you meant "I'll sue" The seekers got wise and the suckers got few

Chorus

(Liar!) - you were bone of my bones (Liar!) - now you're colder than stone I worked to the bone and you threw me a bone Now I got a bone to pick - bring back my throne!

Bridgehalf-sung

Better to dwell in the wilderness (the wilderness) Than a wide house shared with a brawlin' woman Give me the corner of a cold housetop Over one more war that can never be won I'm bone-tired, bone-dry, got nothin' left to give So I'll go my own way, and I'll finally live

Verse 3

This world has been brutal to men of this age Not talkin' of boys, but the wise ones, the sage You kicked them around, disrespectin' their needs So they're leavin' the game, and they'll watch while it bleeds They take out of greed, and they take till we bleed They steal all the joy and they eat all the seed They'll go their own way and make new lives alone They'll remember you scoffed when you threw them a bone You'll age without grace as a lonely old crone Prepare ye to reap the whirlwind you've sown In that day seven women tug at one sleeve Just to carry his name, but he took his leave She that's mine enemy is trod in the mire Skirts over her face for the world to admire Do you think you will make it alone on our throne?

Chorus

(Liar!) - you were bone of my bones (Liar!) - now you're colder than stone I worked to the bone and you threw me a bone Now I got a bone to pick - bring back my throne! (Liar!) - keep the house and the loan (Liar!) - you and all of your clones 'Cause a throne ain't a chair, it's a man on his own Bring back my throne! I brought back my throne!

"Anything further for the record?" "...Liar."
