Arun Kamal (India)

Pll Tell Lies

Yes I'll tell lies
I'll tell lies millions of times
if it'd make the unfortunate live on for one extra day
I will tell lies in the praise of a dying man
if it'd make him die in peace.
I've always borne false testimony
and every time I did a guy walked off the gallows
I wish to be the greatest liar of the world
Amen!
