Now they’re saying “it wasn’t a lie”

it’s a  fabulous song and, unlike Biden, has redemption in the final verse.

If I had the money I’d order up a tombstone for the man  and have this chiseled in as an epitaph.

Man, you should have seen me way back then
I could tell a tale, I could make it spin
I could tell you black was white
I could tell you day was night
Not only that, I could tell you why
Back then, I could really tell a lie

Well, I’d hire a kid to say that he was lame
Then I’d touch him and I’d make him walk again
Then I’d pull some magic trick
I’d pretend to heal the sick
I was takin’ everything they had to give
It wasn’t all that bad a way to live
