Lyrics

Intelligent designer, holocaust denier
You're a liar pants on fire
You got so much to say
You little fly
It's only entertaining for a while

I wanna tell you
So you know where to go
When I hear you
I hear nothing at all
I wanna tell you
So you know where to go

Chameleon, love to change your ways
Chameleon, gave the game away

You're not what you think you are

Guitar
