Rollins Band - Liar (1994) Official Music Video Remastered

Rollins Band - Liar (1994) Official Music Video (Rollins Band song) “Liar“ was named the 64th best hard rock song of all time by VH1. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. Rollins Band performed the song at the 37th Grammy Awards Ceremony. “Liar“ is a song by Rollins Band and the lead single from their fourth full-length album, Weight, released in 1994. It was the album’s only charting single and is one of the group’s best known songs. Upon release, the “Liar“ video gained heavy airplay on MTV. This led to it appearing as part of the Beavis and Butt-head episode “Liar! Liar!“, which aired on July 15, 1994. In the episode, Beavis becomes excited about the chorus, repeating the word “Liar!“ in the same way he typically says “Fire! Fire! Fire!“. Butt-head comes to the conclusion that “lying rules.“  The video edit of “Liar“ was featured in the song’s music video and features a different vocal track and slightly different lyrics in the opening section. The song’s lyrics are from the perspective of a serial liar who alternates between declarations of sympathy and friendship on the one hand, then repeatedly gloating celebrations of his deceptions. Directed by Anton Corbijn, the video itself features alternating depictions of vocalist Henry Rollins. During the song’s verses, he wears glasses and a plain black T-shirt and speaks in a calm, soothing tone about trust and friendship; from one verse to the next, his arms and face become increasingly stained with black paint. For the chorus segments, he is shirtless and painted red, wildly jumping and flailing about as he screams derisively at his audience for believing his lies. He is also seen dressed in a Superman parody costume, a police officer uniform, and a nun’s habit.

Yeah, I know You’ve been out there and tried to mix with those animals And it just left you full of humiliated confusion So you stagger back home and wait for nothing But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets And now you’re desperate and in need of human contact And then you meet me and your whole world changes Because everything I say is everything you’ve ever wanted to hear So you drop all you defenses, and you drop all your fears I’m perfect in every way ’Cause I make you feel so strong and so powerfull inside You feel so lucky But your ego obscures reality but you never bothered to Wonder why things are going so well You want to know why? ’Cause I’m a liar, yeah, I’m a liar I’ll tear your mind out, I’ll burn your soul I’ll turn you into me, I’ll turn you into me ’Cause I’m a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar... I’ll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes And I’ll tell you things that you already know so you can say: I really identify with you, so much And all the time that you’re needing me is just the time That I’m bleeding you, don’t you get it yet? I’ll come to you like an affliction then I’ll leave you like an addiction You’ll never forget me... You wanna know why? ’Cause I’m a liar, yeah, I’m a liar, I’ll rip your mind out, I’ll burn your soul, I’ll turn you into me, I’ll turn you into me, ’Cause I’m a liar, a liar, liar, liar, liar, liar... I don’t know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain Maybe it’s something inside, maybe it’s something I can’t explain ’Cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you I’m a liar, ooooh, I’m a liar But if you’ll give me another chance I swear I’ll never lie to you again ’Cause now I see the destructive power of a lie, They’re stronger than truth I can’t believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again, please Just give me one more chance, I’ll never lie to you again, no, I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will never tell a lie, no, no Ha ha ha ha ha, ho ho ho! Sucker! Sucker! Ooooh sucker! I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I like it, I feel good, ooooh I am a liar... Yeah I lie, I lie, I lie, ooh I lie, I lie, yeah, Oooooh I’m a liar, I lie, yeah, I like it, I feel good, I’ll lie again, and again, I’ll lie again and again and I’ll keep lying, I promise... Ha ha ha
