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're probably going back to But now we're gonna live a little, try to get a little true It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie It's the same old lie you've been reading about, bleeding out Now who's getting cheated out, you best believe It's the silent majority, and if you don't focus 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 It's the same old lie you gotta live with Or if you've got sense or 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 we're hypnotized A lie is a lie, it destroys from the inside Case the teeth from behind that false smile A lie is a lie, and I don't mind a shit 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 Well it's the same old lie, think I died a little gun strong Paces long, how much killing can be done? It's the same old lie they tell you when you die There's mansions up in heaven, fifty virgins off in the sky We can't trade today for some far off promise of tomorrow We 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 It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
