LIAR'S REMORSE

[MUSIC VIDEO: https://youtu.be/_AEhavN0p8g ] [Verse 1] Every night at eight o'clock he took his seat And told you what you wanted — what a treat He knew the lies were lies, he checked his phone Called Trump "demonic" in his texts at home But the cameras rolled and Tucker played along And seventy million people sang his song [Verse 2] He got the Capitol footage, picked the shots Showed you peaceful tourists, hid the cops He knew the election claims were full of shit He said so — privately — he had to admit But ratings, man — and Tucker loves his money So he smiled and made the insurrection funny [Chorus] Liar's Remorse That's the diagnosis, not a change of course Liar's Remorse When the ship goes down you finally feel some force But the water's rising and the bodies float And you're real sorry that you helped them build the boat Liar's Remorse [Verse 3] The COVID death toll had his fingerprints He called the voters stupid ever since He mainlined white replacement every week And called it asking questions — tongue in cheek He built the bonfire, handed out the matches Now he's sad about the smoke and all the ashes [Verse 4] He knew the man was broken from the start Called him a destroyer in his heart Texted it to colleagues, hit send, moved on Then went on air and kept the con alive till dawn Now he's "tormented" — what a heavy cross That's not a conscience, Tucker That's Liar's Remorse [Final Chorus] Liar's Remorse That's the diagnosis, not a change of course Liar's Remorse When the damage done can't be traced back to the source The blood stays on the hands that lit the flame Remorse without a reckoning's just another name For Liar's Remorse (fade)
