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 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?

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

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
