Various Artists - Same Old Lie lyrics

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 sh** I put out there [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] When it's the same old lie I think I died a little Gun drawn, faces long, how much k**ing 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 [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental]
