From the recording The Other Side
Lyrics
DON'T TAKE NO FROM A LYIN' MAN
Don’t take no from a lyin’ man
Don’t take no from a lyin’ man
He’ll turn you round put you upside down Don’t take no from a lyin’ man
Don’t take yes from a lyin’ man
Don’t take yes from a lyin’ man
He’ll pick your pockets clean and vanish from the scene Don’t take yes from a lyin’ man
When things are goin’ down, gettin’ beat to the ground
Will you stand up for just the rights of a few
Who will hear your words if money’s the only voice that’s heard The decision rests with you
Don’t shake hands with a lyin’ man
Don’t shake hands with a lyin’ man
He’ll make you a deal, then laugh when you squeal Don’t shake hands with a lyin’ man
Stand up to the lyin’ man
Stand up to the lyin’ man
Don’t take his bait, don’t let that bully throw his weight Stand up to the lyin’ man
When things are goin’ down, gettin’ beat to the ground
Will you stand up for just the rights of a few
Who will hear your words if money’s the only voice that’s heard The decision rests with you
