so keep your fucking mouth shut - 'cause I don't give a fuck
I don't care if you call me a hater!
'cause I'm the pacifist (whoa)
and you are the slayer!
one two three
can't you hear the ticking bomb?
four five six
seven eight nine
did you hear that last breath?
second ten
another kid's just starved to death
I will deny, I will share - 'cause you're despicable liars
and I can see through your lies - s'your fairy tails that despise
yes I am - a full blooded idealist
you import by the score - and you export only war
one two three
can't you hear the ticking bomb?
four five six
you'll be fucked when it's all gone
seven eight nine
did you hear that last breath?
second ten
another kid's just starved to death
the ticking bomb
when it's all gone
our utopia is not just a dream
we scream from our hearts and our open mouths our wishes and hopes will make us gleam
our utopia is not just a dream
we scream from our hearts and our open mouths our wishes and hopes will make us gleam
one two three
can't you hear the ticking bomb?
four five six
you'll be fucked when it's all gone
seven eight nine
did you hear that last breath?

another kid's just starved to death

the ticking bomb
The Prosecution's song "Liars" is a powerful political statement that criticizes the idea of peace being championed by "liars." The song expresses disgust towards those who talk about peace but are actually engaging in wars and exporting it. The lyrics "I want to puke up and scream - when you talk about peace, so keep your f**king mouth shut - 'cause I don't give a f**k" convey the frustration and disappointment that the singer feels towards the idea of peace being used as a false facade to cover up the violence and destruction caused by war.
The song also touches upon the issue of children dying from starvation and the ticking time-bomb that is the world we live in. The lyrics "one two three, can't you hear the ticking bomb? Four five six, you'll be f**ked when it's all gone. Seven eight nine, did you hear that last breath? Second ten, another kid's just starved to death" implies that the world is on the brink of collapse, and the actions of those in power are doing nothing to mitigate the devastation.
The final verse of the song offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer acknowledges their idealism and their belief in a better future, where the utopia is not just a dream. The lyrics "our wishes and hopes will make us gleam" suggest that through collective action and belief, we can strive for a better tomorrow.
In summary, "Liars" is a powerful political statement that highlights the corrupt use of the idea of peace to cover up the violence and destruction caused by war. The song touches upon the ticking time-bomb that is the world we live in and offers a glimmer of hope in the face of the overwhelming devastation.
