[verse 1] You walked into the room like you invented the room Googled it once, now you're certain of the truth Half a podcast deep and you're correcting the PhD Skimming the surface like you found the bottom of the sea The graph goes up before it crashes to the floor Peak of Mount Stupid, you planted your flag and want more Don't know enough to know you don't know anything Confidence is loudest right before the reckoning See the doctor nods and smiles and doesn't say a word Because explaining what you're missing would take a year to be heard You're not dumb you're just exactly where we all have been The map is not the territory but you colored it in [verse 1 end] [hook] Liar liar motherfucker, your pants — fire fire Your shit is literally burning Lie to me like you're learning, come on, come on Lie to me like you're learning You're not learning dumbass you're burning That's the fire fire liar liar ...duh [hook end] [verse 2] You typed the question in already knowing the answer Google gave you thirteen hits and you picked the one that flattered Skipped the study, shared the headline, didn't read the thread The algorithm saw you coming, now it's inside your head Feed's a mirror not a window, showing you your face Every click's a vote for staying comfortable and safe Echo chamber got acoustics like the Sistine Chapel ceiling Every voice in there is yours but damn it's so appealing Now here's the part that's gonna make you mad — I know Someone showed you you were wrong and watch the certainty grow Backfire effect, the correction is the fuel You don't dig in because you're evil, you dig in because you're neural Your identity got tangled up in what you thought was true So the fact that threatens that is now a threat to you It's not stupidity it's circuitry it's ancient wiring man Your brain is doing exactly what your brain thinks that it can [verse 2 end] [verse 3] You didn't reason your way in so you can't be reasoned out The tribe decided what was true before you had a doubt Motivated reasoning means the verdict came before the case Logic is the lawyer cleaning up the evidence of faith Your team is right because they're your team that's the whole damn thing Truth's a jersey now you wear it in the spring And I'm not pointing fingers cause I've worn that jersey too The difference between me and you is I got caught mid-move We're all just ancient animals in very clever clothes Trying to be certain in a world that nobody knows The fire isn't evil and the liar isn't you It's the hardware running software that was never fully debugged [verse 3 end] [outro] So the next time that you feel it That absolute unshakeable this-is-true feeling Just... Sit with it One second Ask it where it came from That's it That's the whole song [outro end] [hook — half tempo] Liar liar... your pants... fire fire You thought you were learning We're all just burning That's okay ...duh [hook end]
