Liability Lyrics
You can tell us that it isn't serious.
And you can tell us that you'll do it right.
You can tell us that you've got it all worked out.
You can tell us that it's all for us.
But we know you're lying through your teeth.
You can tell us that it's for security.
And you can tell us it's for our own good.
You can tell us that we wouldn't understand,
and you can hide behind your practiced grin.
But we know you're lying through your teeth.
You will bare the brunt of liability.
It will be a stone around your neck,
drowning you in irresponsibility,
underneath the weight of your regret.
You can sell our secrets for your benefit.
You can toss our bodies in the ground.
You can ship our children off to battlefields.
You can wipe the blood from both your hands.
You can tell us that it's indisputable,
as you throw away the evidence.
But, we know you're lying through your teeth.
You will bare the brunt of liability.
It will be a stone around your neck,
drowning you in irresponsibility,
underneath the weight of your regret.
I think its basically about people. People lying. Two faced people. like the -ugly- side of people.
awsome song
i hate the intro... the rest is... ok
hmm i think it's about fighting in the war, and something with the goverment. but i can be reading the message in the song wrongly i suppose.
i think this is about the government and how they hide so many things from the general public...but that could be wrong
ok, i'm gonna put my two cents in. This song is about the Clinton administration and all government. It's about lying to the public to feed their own wants and that one day, they will be held accountable for it. i think their talking about judgment in heaven or on earth. just basically that evil does not go unpunished. "you can send our children off to battlefield/and you can wipe the blood from both your hand......" is talking about sensless wars to gain popularity (ie: when Clinton was sending troops to that small country and they were getting kille "all for a good cause" "because he cared" because he wanted the attention of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.) this song means sooo much to me because i'm very into politics and this expresses my views very well. i love them for the fact that they aren't afraid to stand up for what's right and not compromise. ........ok, sry if i bored you. :)

i agree with deftones girl... i think it is about clinton...and the government...he did do a lot of lying. and "You can sell our secrets for your benefit" that really did happen. he sold nuclear secrets to china...just another "similarity"
