[Verse 1] Laurie’s scrubbing names again Wiping dents from every screen He left a trail in busted words All over town and in between He turns a lie into a map Calls it truth and sells the scene But every post leaves fingerprints On every place he’s been [Pre-Chorus] And when the talk gets loud He hides behind a story Takes his rage to real life now Like fear is something holy [Chorus] Clean it up, Laurie Can’t hide that stain Clean it up, Laurie Truth comes back again He brought the threat to the front door Brought the steel to the home But the real world keeps the record And the record’s what you own [Verse 2] He paints his myths in borrowed words Twists the blood to fit his page Makes a crowd out of one-sided blame Then calls the wreck a stage But every lie gets aired out Every mask gets torn by day And the ones he tried to bury Show the whole thing anyway [Pre-Chorus] Now the story’s cracking Under all that false light What he dragged into the open Can’t be shoved back out of sight [Chorus] Clean it up, Laurie Can’t hide that stain Clean it up, Laurie Truth comes back again He brought the threat to the front door Brought the steel to the home But the real world keeps the record And the record’s what you own [Bridge] One by one, the facts come through Cold and plain and clear Every “truth” he built on panic Falls apart right here Laurie, you can’t wash that off Not with smoke and blame When the people speak the evidence It knows your husband’s name [Final Chorus] Clean it up, Laurie Can’t hide that stain Clean it up, Laurie Truth comes back again He brought the threat to the front door Brought the steel to the home But the real world keeps the record And the record’s what you own Clean it up, Laurie No more games Clean it up, Laurie Truth remembers names
