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 
 
[Bridge] 
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 lie 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 getting 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 day time 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

Somebody done turning 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 
And gettin' ready to speak 
 
It's gettin' ready to jive 
It's gettin' ready to gel 
Somebody done gone let the lid off 
And it's 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
