Skeletons in your closet
itchin' to come outside
messin' with your conscience
in a way your face can't hide
Oh things are gettin' real funky
down at the old corral
and it's not the skunks that are stinkin'
it's the stinkin' lies you tell
What did your mama tell you about lies
she said it wasn't polite to tell a white one
what did your daddy tell you about lies
he said one white one turns into a black one
So, it's gettin' ready to blow
it's gettin' ready to show
somebody shot off at the mouth and
we're gettin' ready to know
It's gettin' ready to drop
it's gettin' ready to shock
somebody done turned up the heater
an'a it's gettin' ready to pop
Crevices in your pantry
now what do we have in here
havin' a daytime nightmare
has always been your biggest fear
Oh things are gettin' real crucial
up the old wazoo
yet you cry, why am i the victim?
when the culprit's y-o-u
What did your mama tell you about lies
she said it wasn't polite to tell a white one
what did your daddy tell you about lies
he said one white one turns into a black one
So, it's gettin' ready to blow
it's gettin' ready to show
somebody shot off at the mouth and
we're gettin' ready to know
It's gettin' ready to drop
it's gettin' ready to shock
somebody done turned up the heater
an'a it's gettin' ready to pop
It's gettin' ready to seep
you're gettin' ready to freak
somebody done picked up the talk box
we're gettin' ready to speak
It's gettin' ready to jive
you're gettin' ready to gel
somebody done gone let the lid off
we're gettin' ready to smell
They're gettin' ready to deal
you're gettin' ready to ill
somebody done just dropped the big dime
and they're gettin' ready to squeal
It's gettin' ready to turn
we're gettin' ready to learn
somebody done fired up the brimstone
and you're gettin' ready to burn
It's gettin' ready to shake
you're gettin' ready to ache
somebody done snitched to the news crew
and it's gettin' ready to break
You're gettin' ready to lie
they're gettin' ready to spy
somebody's been put on the hot seat
and you're gettin' ready to fry
