Me: The liar!

Let me out or I’ll bash down the door!
I’ve got enough strength to lift up the floor.
I learnt to be strong from Muhammad Ali
And I helped Mandela set the blacks free.
From the burning Hindenburg, I did flee
And without me the light bulb would simply not be.
I gunned down Ned Kelly,
Insulted Eric Bana,
And I was lead singer in rock band Goanna.
The put me my room
‘Cause they said that I lied,
And I wonder why they think that?
