Lyrics
Intro
Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar
Verse 1
I get caught up in tryin' to be somethin' I'm not
To please everyone else
I look deep in the mirror, to find everything that isn't right
With myself
Pre-Chorus
God only knows, I've tried to fight it, fight it
It's just a wolf who's always cryin', cryin'
Chorus
The devil is a liar
Says he can give you everything that you desire
Everything you want but you'd be playin' with the fire
So don't believe the lie, it comes at a price
Verse 2
Looks like you got somewhere to be
People you need to see, gotta keep up
They say image is everything, makin' it hard to think
That you're enough
Pre-Chorus
God only knows, you've tried to fight it, fight it
It's just a wolf who's always lyin', lyin'
Chorus
The devil is a liar
Says he can give you everything that you desire
Everything you want but you'd be playin' with the fire
So don't believe the lie, it comes at a price
Yeah devil is a liar
Says he can give you everything that you desire
Everything you want but you'd be walkin' on the wire
So don't believe the lie, it comes at a price
Don't believe the lie
Bridge
Oh yeah
Don't be dancin' with the devil, don't believe a single word
'Cause when we get to Heaven, we gon' sing and watch him burn (Oh no)
Dancin' with the devil, don't believe a single word
'Cause when we get to Heaven, we gon' sing and watch him burn
Chorus
The devil is a liar
Says he can give you everything that you desire
Everything you want but you'd be playin' with the fire
So don't believe the lie, it comes at a price
Yeah devil is a liar
Says he can give you everything that you desire
Everything you want but you'd be walkin' on the wire
So don't believe the lie, it comes at a price
Don't believe the lie

Meaning & Inspiration
Devil Is A Liar is a song that tells listeners not to believe the lies of the enemy. The verses describe getting caught up in trying to be something else to please others, looking in the mirror for what is wrong, and a culture where image is everything and it is hard to believe one is enough. The chorus says the devil is a liar who promises everything desired but at a price, so the lie should not be believed.
The pre-chorus says God only knows the struggle and that the enemy is a wolf who is always crying, and the bridge warns against dancing with the devil, looking ahead to Heaven. These ideas connect with John 8:44 where the devil is called the father of lies, 1 Peter 5:8 on the adversary, James 4:7 on resisting him, and Psalm 139:14 on being wonderfully made. The tone is direct and encouraging with a catchy hook.
