Same Old Lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same old lie they tell you when you’re little |
Try to make you forget just what it is you’re really made of |
And follow on just like most everyone |
But you and me, we ain’t like most everyone |
Pure individual, bright as the shining sun |
And sure as hell we know where it is we come from |
And where it is, yeah, we probably going back to it |
But now we gonna live a little, try and get a little truth |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same old lie you been readin' 'bout |
Bleedin' out, now who’s getting cheated out? |
You best believe it’s the silent majority |
If you don’t vote it’s on you not me |
It’s the same old lie, told from the dawn of time |
Yeah, stretch it out a little, try to milk every last dime |
Hate crimes, shelter lines |
They try to take what’s yours and mine |
Is there any peace to be found in a lifetime? |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same old lie, you gotta live with it |
Or if you got sense then you better try changing it |
But nothing is more difficult than changing what’s been comfortable |
We’ve seen it tried a million times |
It’s hard to think when hypnotized |
A lie’s a lie, it destroys from the inside |
Decays the teeth from behind that false smile |
A lie’s a lie and I’ve told my share |
But I know I’m gonna suffer for the shit I put out there |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
When it’s the same old lie I think I died a little |
Gun drawn, faces long, how much killing can be done? |
It’s the same old lie they tell you when you die |
There are mansions up in heaven |
Fifty virgins off in the sky |
When you can’t trade today for some far off promise of tomorrow |
Can’t build love out of guns, blood, and sorrow |
They say we can’t live together but we know that’s a lie |
'Cause we know it in our heart we can make it if we try |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
It’s the same, it’s the same, it’s the same old lie |
