lyrics

Living A Lie

Verse:

Have you ever felt like you are living in doubt?
(Living a lie, living a lie)
Remember that’s a feeling you can live without
(Ain’t a surprise, ain’t a surprise)

Pre-chorus:
You feel sorry for self/ but talked to no one else
Confined inside your solitary cell
If you don’t do nothin’ but sing them blues
Listen up, this song is for you

Verse:
Wake up this morning with an empty head
(Hoping to die, hoping to die)
Try so hard just to get out of bed
(Nothing in life, can satisfy)

Pre-chorus:
You think you got it tough/ and life’s been pretty rough
Just step outside and take a look around
A thousand million people living worse than you
That ain’t no reason to be singin’ them blues

Chorus:
Bitchin’ and moanin’/ whinin’ and complainin’,
It’s all just a waste of time
You can cry all you want/ it ain’t changin’ nothin’
That’s just the way that the world is run
Sulkin’ and poutin’/ fussin’ and cussin’,
I don’t need a piece of your mind
You think you got it worse than everybody else
I tell you man/ you can go to hell

Verse:
Rich man thinkin’ ‘bout livin’ it up
(He’s living a lie, living a lie)
Drinking fine whiskey from a gilded cup
(The whole wide world thinks that you’re too vile)

Pre-chorus:
But his house is too big/ his porch is too steep,
Ain’t got no space to park his fucking jeep
While the poor man starve/ don’t know what to do
That ain’t no reason to be singin’ them blues

-Chorus-

G-g-g-go to hell!

-Solo-

Verse:
Your girlfriend despises you and thinks that you’re such a mess
(Ain’t a surprise, ain’t a surprise)
So you think that the whole world owes your sorry ass
(You’re living a lie, living a lie)

Pre-chorus:
Every living second/ is just another waste
You’re such a shame to the human race
But nobody wants to feel sorry for you, still
That ain’t no reason to be singin’ them blues

-Chorus-

Go to hell,

Livin’ a lie,

Yeah yeah yeah
