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

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 (Same lie)

It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie (Same lie)

It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie (Same lie)

It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie

It's the same old lie you been reading 'bout

Bleeding out, now who's getting cheating out?

You best believe it's the silent majority

And 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

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 (Same lie)

It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie (Same lie)

It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie (Same 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

Or if you got sense, hence 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

But a lie's a lie, it destroys from the inside

Decays the teeth from behind that false smile

A lie is 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 (Same lie)

It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie (Same lie)

It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie (Same lie)

It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie

Well, it's the same old lie I think I died a little

Guns 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

Well, 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 (Same lie)

It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie (Same lie)

It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie (Same lie)

It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie (Same lie)
