Pop Lie Lyrics - The Stand Ins - Okkervil River

All sweetly sung and succinctly stated 

Words and music you calculated 

To make you sing along 

With your stereo on 

As you stand in your shorts on your lawn 

Get completely incorporated 

By some couple who consummated 

Their first love by the dawn 

A falling star wished upon 

And flashed in the sky and was gone 

And mouths wet and blonde hair braided 

By the back room, the kids all waited 

To meet the man in bright green 

Who had dreamed up the dream 

That they wrecked their hearts upon 

He's the liar who lied in his pop song

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And you're lying when you sing along 

And you're lying when you sing along 

So, here's the car seat, so cruelly weighted 

And here's the faces already faded 

At the end of the day 

When they just threw away 

The only good thing that they owned 

And now they're pinned down and strangulated 

But at the food court, the float's inflated 

People line up to see 

The man who dreamed up the dream 

That they wrecked their hearts upon 

He's the liar who lied in his pop song 

The liar who lied in his pop song 

And you're lying when you sing along 

Oh yeah, you're lying when you sing along

Week by week, it climbs up and comes on 

And we're feeling alright, though we know it's all wrong 

I'm ashamed to admit that I can't help resist what I wished was the truth, but it's not 

And I truly believe we're not strong 

And we'll sing till our voices are gone 

And I'm singing in that manicured lawn 

This is respectfully dedicated 

To the woman who concentrated 

All of her love to find 

That she'd wasted it on 

The liar who lied in this song
