Be honest. If you lie or are deceptive about your last employer, and it is discovered, you will probably be fired on the spot. If you were there a long time, prospective employers will want to know what you've done with that time. You can choose to lie and get the job on false pretenses or tell them what happened and hope they respect your honesty. If they don't, it probably would not have worked out well anyway.
