A vicious, blistering attack directed at former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland. The lyrics brutally denounce a 'liar' and 'cheat,' using highly aggressive language to express feelings of betrayal, anger, and professional disdain stemming from personal conflicts within the band.

Lyrics
You take great pride in never having lived up to anything Lie, steal, cheat and kill, a real bad guy Your daddy is a wino and you mommy's quite insane From altar boy to sewer rat, you don't give a damn You're sister is a junkie, gets "it" any way she can Your brother's a gay singer in a stud leather band Your girlfriend's got herpes to go with your Hep and AIDS There ain't one person you know you ain't ripped off yet Look deep in the mirror, look deep into its eye Your face is replaced, as creature you despise But I know what you're made of, it ain't much I'm afraid I know you'll be lying until your dying day Make up your stories, the truth's so hard to say Brain is numb and your tongue will surely dig your grave Your mind is sickly from Alzheimer's disease And decadence and debauchery killed your memories You're a liar, liar, liar, everyone can see Liar, liar, it's all you'll ever be Liar, liar, liar, it's what you mean to me Liar, liar, lies... Start trouble, spread pain Piss and venom in your veins Talk nasty, breathe fire Smell rotten, you're a liar Sweat liquor, breathe snot Eat garbage, spit blood Diseased, health hazard Scum bag, filthy bastard Greasy face, teeth decay Hair matted, drunk all day Absessed, sunken veins Rot gut, scrambled brain Steal money, crash cars Rob jewelry, hock guitars Rot in Hell, it's time you know To your master, off you go You're a liar, a fucking liar! Filthy liar, liar! You fucking liar, liar!
