[Verse 1]
I have sinned, dear Father
Father, I have sinned
Try and help me, Father
Won't you let me in?

[Chorus]
Liar!
Oh, nobody believes me
Liar!

[Post-Chorus]
Why don't you leave me alone?

[Verse 2]
Sire, I have stolen
Stolen many times
Raised my voice in anger
When I know I never should

[Chorus]
Liar!
Oh, everybody deceives me
Liar!

[Post-Chorus]
Why don't you leave me alone?

[Bridge 1]
(Liar) I have sailed the seas
(Liar) From Mars to Mercury
(Liar) I have drunk the wine
(Liar) Time after time
(Liar) You're lying to me
(Liar) You're lying to me

Father please forgive me
You know you'll never leave me
Please will you direct me in the right way?
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, that's what they keep calling me
Liar, liar, liar

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge 2]
(Listen) Are you going to listen?
Mama I'm gonna be your slave
All day long
Mama, I'm gonna try to behave
All day long
Mama, I'm gonna be your slave
All day long
I'm gonna serve you til' your dying day
All day long
I'm gonna keep you til' you dying day
All day long
I'm gonna kneel down by your side and pray
All day long
And pray
All day long
And pray
All day long
And pray
All day long, all day long, all day long
All day long
All day long
All day long
All day long
All day long
All day long
All day long
All day long
All day long!

[Outro]
All day long, all day long, all day long
Liar, liar, they never ever let you win
Liar, liar, everything you do is sin
Liar, nobody believes you
Liar, they bring you down before you begin
Ooh, now let me tell you this
Now you know you could be dead before they let you...

Formed in 1970, Queen was a British rock band whose classic line-up consisted of Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano, Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass. Although Mercury and May wrote the bulk of the band’s material, all four contributed to the songwriting, churning out huge hits. Initially a progressive rock band with strong metal influences, their sound evolved dramatically over time. The band went on to refine, if not define “stadium rock,” as they grew to become one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

Their early progressive phase spawned epic tracks like “March of the Black Queen” and one international hit “Killer Queen.” But it was their 1975 track “Bohemian Rhapsody” which catapulted the group to super-stardom. The song reigned at #1 on the UK charts for nine weeks and has since been praised as one of the greatest songs of all time

Moving away from their album-orientated sound, the band only grew in popularity with such songs as November 1976’s “Somebody to Love,” October 1977’s “We Are the Champions,” January 1979’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” June 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” January 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and many more. These songs are so beloved that a musical based on the band’s discography, titled We Will Rock You, became one of West-End’s longest-running shows with a 12-year run through May 2014—and more events being featured internationally, as well.
