[Verse 1] Mud on the tires Badge on the chest He wrote his own story Skipped the rest By the county line He got a grin Said "move along, boy" Then it began Told one lie Then he told ten more Signed my name wrong Kicked my door [Pre-Chorus] He said "trust me" With a hard cold stare But the file's got holes And the truth's right there [Chorus] Blue badge liar Blue badge liar You wear the law But you burn the wire (Blue badge liar) Blue badge liar We see your games We name your fire [Verse 2] Worn-out boots On a courthouse floor He'd shake a hand Then ask for more Pocket got full While the facts got thin He sold that lie Again and again Radio crackle Cold coffee stains Another good man Took the blame [Pre-Chorus] He said "calm down" Like that fixed the pain But the truth rode in On a freight train [Chorus] Blue badge liar Blue badge liar You wear the law But you burn the wire (Blue badge liar) Blue badge liar We see your games We name your fire [Bridge] When the porch light hits And the neighbors talk Every false report Comes back to walk No badge can hide What the dust can show The whole town knows And the whole town knows [Final Chorus] Blue badge liar Blue badge liar You wear the law But you burn the wire (Blue badge liar) Blue badge liar We see your games We name your fire Blue badge liar Blue badge liar Truth got feet And it's coming higher
