The Lie Songtext
von Lukas Nelson

I can hear the whisper of a wind-swept song
Quietly beggin′ to come home
Everybody loves you when you kill yourself slowly
Nobody cares if you can't carry

Holy water′s spillin', oil well's drillin′
Chains on a trailer, anybody willin′
To sell a little time, make a quick dime

Come here, kid, here's a story for you
You′re defined by what you do
No one ever made it stayin' home with the kids
And if you ain′t winnin', you ain′t worth shit
Peace of mind comes when you're dead and gone
If you can't see that, you don′t belong

Simple soul turned to a spinnin′ black hole
Suckin' in the light ′til space time folds
Have a big time 'til you feel all empty
Inside out and oh, so lonely


In the middle, world′s smallest fiddle
It don't feel right, kinda worries me a little
It′ll be alright 'cause Kingdom come

Come here, kid, here's a story for you
You′re defined by what you do
No one ever made it stayin′ home with the kids
And if you ain't winnin′, you ain't worth shit
Peace of mind comes when you′re dead and gone
If you can't see that, you don′t belong

In the dreamin' to rile me up
Now I gotta buy me a big new truck
Everybody out there wants my blood
But I'm just a big old knapsack

Packin′ for a livin′, swingin' for the air
I answer to the crowd underneath my hair
Fightin′ every urge to turn and run

Come here, kid, here's a story for you
You′re defined by what you do
No one ever made it stayin' home with the kids
And if you ain′t winnin', you ain't worth shit
Peace of mind comes when you′re dead and gone
If you can′t see that, you don't belong


Don′t belong
Don't belong
