Lyrics

Liars and murderers
Spit another out so we can
Count it up
Count it up
Count it up
Count it up

Not what you said you were
Another good man down and we can
Count it up
Count it up
Count it up
Count it up

You're gonna pay for your charade
Can't wait until you go away

Burnt flags and bloody rags
Buried underground where we can
Count it up
Count it up
Count it up
Count it up

Nametags and body bags
They don't make a sound but we can
Count it up
Count it up
Count it up
Count it up

You're gonna pay for your charade
Can't wait until you go away
I hope it rains on your parade
Not gonna go through that again

They're gonna pay you back in spades

Guitar
