Lyrics

Charlatan

Hey, you're a liar
Your salvation army has arrived
I shoved them away
They asked to be saved
They showed you the light
They showed you the light

Hey, you're deceitful
Your reckless behavior is to blame
You called our attention
Something to say
You called out redemption
Now we're calling hey

Hey, hey, there's a name
For someone like you
Oh you steal light from the sun
You're not a man
You're a beautiful, beautiful charlatan

Hey, you're the preacher
You've got so much to say, none of it's true
You held out your hand
You took to the stand
Confessing your truth
You lie to me, I say to you

Hey, there's a name
For someone like you
Oh you steal light from the sun
You're not a man
You're a beautiful, beautiful charlatan
Beautiful, beautiful charlatan

Hey, there's a name
For someone like you
Oh you steal light from the sun
You're not a man
You're a beautiful, beautiful charlatan
Beautiful, beautiful charlatan
Beautiful, beautiful charlatan
