Robert Williams:
John Liar

 
Embittered after his VERY public humiliation by John Lydon on Judge Judy in 1997. Drummer Robert Williams penned this petty swipe at Lydon for his 1998 album 'Date with the Devil's Daughter'. Someone give him his rattle back...
 

John Liar

 

'm a pompous, pretentious,
plagiaristic, Prodigy parody
I always claim the credit
for the things I don't do
I won't accept the blame
so it must be true...
I'm a Liar!
I built my career
with a rotten composition
I'm Dishonest John
with a bad disposition
Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth?
Television justice
for celebrities like me
Judy knew I lied
yet exonerated me
I even cheat my brother
compulsively deceive
I am the hypocrite that
you should not believe
I'm a Liar, John Liar
John Liar, Johnny Rat!
Liar, John Liar
I'm a Liar, Johnny Rat!
Ah, never turn your back
`cause it's when I attack
I'm a pussy little has-been
trying to make a comeback
Liar, Johnny Liar
I'm a Liar, Johnny Rat!
Liar, John Liar
I'm a Liar, Johnny Rat!
John Liar...
