Pretty much, it's about a kid who is bullied by a fag at school. He learns how to get around the Bully, and finally gets his revenge. No one suspects him. Hence with a thousand LIES. At the end, he finds his place as a "cool" kid

I think the song is about "The Lord of the Flies" Check the synopsis of that book on wikipedia, but basically, in the book, through manipulation and the evil in human nature, kids end up fighting another until one of the more innocent kid, Piggy, gets smashed right between the eyes with a huge boulder, smashing his head, and killing him.

Shit, I thought it was about a spy...doin his job on a bunch of unsuspecting people and ruining a bunch of lives, including some innoscent. (show me how to lie...with a thousand lies, and a good disguise...etc...) ehh,maybe I've been watching too much Burn Notice...

i think its about a kid being bullied, but he gets his revenge by setting the social circle on him. "And turning all against the one; Is an art that’s hard to teach; Another clever word; Sets off an unsuspecting herd"

I think it's about a kid who's picked on at school by a bully. This bully is the main one who picks on him, but his friends and the wannabe-tough guys follow his lead to earn his approval. But the boy being picked on is holding back, waiting for the perfect time to strike. And strike he does, for then he joins the line of the beaten bully's friends and takes them to his side, and the lyric 'You're gonna go far kid' is in reference to his timing and his so easily turning the bully's friends from his side.

It's about manipulation, but it doesn't have to be to get back at a bully. It's a kid who goes through school (or life, or whatever), destroying people in his way by manipulating their friends into hating them. The change in the line "Man he never had a chance" to "Man I never had a chance" shows the kid changed targets and is getting ready to destroy someone else's social life because he doesn't like them.

Honesly i feel every interpretation is right but the Lord of The Flies one seems like it could be the one closest to the truth because Lord of The Flies is in the lyrics. But they all match the lyrics.

David and Goliath fits the bill, especially the chorus.
