  • Liar, liar the world's on fire
    Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?
    Fire, fire burning higher
    Still got time to turn it all around

    Now I ain't one for speaking out much
    But that don't mean I don't stay in touch
    Everybody's trippin' over this or that
    What we gonna do when we all fall flat?

    Liar, liar the world's on fire
    What we gonna do when it all burns down?

    I don't know what to think about us
    When did we lose in God we trust
    God Almighty, what we gonna do
    If God ain't listenin' and we're deaf too

    Liar, liar the world's on fire
    Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?
    Fire, fire burning higher
    Still got time to turn it all around

    Don't get me started on politics
    Now how are we to live in a world like this
    Greedy politicians, present and past
    They wouldn't know the truth if it bit 'em in the ass

    (Whatcha gonna do?)
    Now tell me what is truth?
    (Whatcha gonna do?)
    Have we all lost sight
    (Whatcha gonna do?)
    Of common decency?
    (Whatcha gonna do?)
    Of the wrong and right?

    How do we heal this great divide?
    Do we care enough to try?
    Liar, liar the world's on fire
    What we gonna do when it all burns down?

    Billy got a gun, Joey got a knife
    Janey got a sign to carry in the fight
    Marching in the streets with sticks and stones
    Don't you ever believe words don't break bones

    Oh, can we rise above?
    Can't we show some love?
    Do we just give up
    Or make a change?
    We know all too well
    We've all been through hell
    Time to break the spell
    In Heaven's name

    Liar, liar the world's on fire
    Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?
    Fire, fire burning higher
    Still got time to turn it all around

    Liar, liar the world's on fire
    Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?
    Fire, fire burning higher
    Still got time to turn it all around

    (Liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?)
    (Liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?)
    Show some love (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (Still got time to turn it all around)
    Let's rise above (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?)
    Let's make a stand (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?)
    Let's lend a hand (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (Still got time to turn it all around)
    Let's heal the hurt (liar, Liar, the world's on fire)
    (Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?)
    Let kindness work (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?)
    Let's be a friend (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?)
    Let hatred end (liar, liar, the world's on fire)
    (Whatcha gonna do)

    Liar, liar, the world's on fire
    Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?
    Liar, liar, the world's on fire
    Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down? Writer/s: Dolly Parton
