Lie to You

We were rollin' in a '79 Nova

Whole town thinkin', "How's she gonna hold up?"

The girl's diggin' her own grave

But you taught me everything that a man should know

So I keep the lights on and some meat on your bones

I don't care what they say

'Cause it's a mad dog town, and we ain't got nothin'

Crime in the streets from the politicians runnin'

What else could they do

Except lie to you?

There's two things in life that you don't mess with

A bottle and a pipe won't get you to Heaven

That's where we wanna go

So when they say things about us, we won't listen

We ain't gonna dabble with that kind of livin'

Ain't got nothin' better to do

And you taught me everything that a man should know

So I keep the lights on and some meat on your bones

And I don't care what they say

'Cause it's a mad dog town, and we ain't got nothin'

Crime in the streets from the politicians runnin'

What else could they do?

They gonna lie to you

The Lord shines bright on me, so damn your apathy

Forced by words of thee, damn your apathy

And you taught me everything that a man should know

So I keep the lights on and some meat on your bones

And I don't care what they say

'Cause it's a mad dog town, and we ain't got nothin'

Crime in the streets from the politicians runnin'

What else could they do?

They gonna lie to you, whoa

They gonna lie to you, whoa
