Head On

The Tern

The Lying Ape

I'm the ape who builds guitars
And makes kings sing on burning stars
I put atlas on a unicycle
And gave your lass a glass rifle

Men made a monument for man
And a mother's mouth went mute for months
Sister's smile sunk like sand
And shown the shallowness she shunned

Honesty wont sell in a free country
But a lie might get you far
So I grew the fakest tree
And the door I turned it into I left ajar

What's the devil gonna take from me?
I never had a soul to sell
Our maker didn't make us free
What's the devil gonna sell to me?
My soul is only bought for free
At least our maker didn't make us trees

I'm the ape in charge of banks
I make man starve for money's sake
The laws I wrote are mine to break
But this lie of mine makes me feel fake

Honesty might sell in a free country
But a lie will make you a star
So we all bought polyvinyl trees
And left no door ajar

What's the devil gonna take from us?
We never had a soul to sell
Our maker didn't make us free
What's the devil gonna sell to us?
Our souls are only bought for free
At least our maker didn't make us trees
