Machine Head - A Thousand Lies lyrics

What is a man that stays true to the game But has to cheat a little to get by Well that is a person that I know to well Don't want to know, but I don't have to ask why Everyone like a loaded gun You want some sh**, I'll f**in' pound you, son Don't need a reason, pain I'm feelin' I gotta vent or else I blow inside Pre-chorus: Introspection, termination Can't tell right from wrong Fed up with this whole system It's gone on far too long Chorus: You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize Thousand lies been told a thousand times Hard as nails, the power to survive What is a man that stays true to the game But can't believe some of the things he sees Anger's a gift and I won't be kept down In poverty there is no democracy Used needle and a crack vile A broken bottle and a bullet shell This urban life is so volatile An inner city or a concrete hell Pre-chorus Chorus What is a man don't stay true to the game Don't care for no one, only cares for his greed He's playin' God k**in' thousands of people 'Cause the power is the fix that he needs Racist goal of the white devil I watched our souls burnin' over oil A politician got no feelin' It makes my motherf**in' cold blood boil Pre-chorus Chorus
