Lyrics Liar's Nightmare - Graham Nash

I have always been here and I'll always be there
I can honestly tell you that I really don't care
If all the babies are broken and the old folks are blind
There's a hole in my heart but I know you don't mind
If I laugh at the cripples and I cry for the clowns
And I welcome the madness that I see coming down
And I have no opinions, so I feel no remorse
I can see the Black Knight riding up on his horse
And there's fire in his nostrils and blood in his eyes
And he's looking at you, kid, as he races on by
So watch out for his hooves, they're gonna kill you for sure
He's got some kind of sickness no man can cure
And his breath, it will burn you and put out your eyes
He'll tear out your tongues, so you can't even cry
That your body is broken and your spirit is dead
And you hope against hope it's a bad dream you had
About a meeting with Elvis at the back of the store
You're both shoveling plasticware right out of the door
And the men who control you keep yelling for more, more, more, more
You pay all your taxes but you don't know what for
'Cause nothing seems to get better, things seem to get worse
We're all living in danger from a politician's curse
All promises are broken, all lips have been read
Well, the mouth has spoken but nothing's been said
The dream has been shattered, the flags have been burned
You better make up your minds from whatever you've learned
About your family values and the way they've been scorned
Some babies are battered way before they've been born
Some call me a liar, some call me a thief
But the way that I look at things, I can't get no relief
So I went to a meeting, spoke out of fear
They said, "Thank you for sharing, now, why are you here?"
I said, "Everything's shaking, including myself
I keep all my feelings high up on a shelf
And I can't seem to reach them but I know they were there
I'm trapped in this vacuum and I'm gasping for air"
Some people get better, some people just fold
Some people rise above it or so I've been told
So I started to leave, I was searching for more
They caught ahold of my sleeve but I slipped through the door
I ran back to the office with my back to the wall
When I came to my senses, I had no one to call
So I called up the doctor, he told me to lie
He said, "Get out of this nightmare or you surely will die"
So I forced myself to wake up and opened my eyes
But the man in the mirror was there in disguise
He was playing his part, living in a trance
Sentenced to be a witness 'cause he had no defense
The anesthetic is wearing thin and you're starting to sweat
And you finally realize that it ain't over yet
'Cause the way you've been feeling, they must have hit a nerve
I know it's not what you want but it's what you deserve
The operation is over, listen to me, please
I'm begging forgiveness, I'm down on my knees
Coming back to consciousness, I was out of my head
Well, the dream is over and I'm back in my bed
I've always been here and I'll always be there
I can honestly tell you that I really do care
I gotta tell you the truth about the sadness I find
I have opened my heart to you and I hope you don't mind
