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's a person that I know too well
Don't want to know but I don't have to ask why
Everyone like a loaded gun
You want some shit. I'll fuckin' pound you, son
Don't need a reason, pain I'm feelin'
I gotta vent or else I blow inside
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
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 s 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
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
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 don't stay true to the game
Don't care for no one, only cares for his greed
He's playin' God killin' thousands of people
'Cause the power is the fix that he needs
Racist goal of the white devil
I watched our soul burnin' over oil
A politician got no feelin'
It makes my motherfuckin' cold blood boil
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
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
But has to cheat a little to get by
Well that's a person that I know too well
Don't want to know but I don't have to ask why
Everyone like a loaded gun
You want some shit. I'll fuckin' pound you, son
Don't need a reason, pain I'm feelin'
I gotta vent or else I blow inside
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails the power to survive
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
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails the power to survive
Don't care for no one, only cares for his greed
He's playin' God killin' thousands of people
'Cause the power is the fix that he needs
Racist goal of the white devil
I watched our soul burnin' over oil
A politician got no feelin'
It makes my motherfuckin' cold blood boil
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails the power to survive

I have to say the first time i heard machine head, i was like OMG THEY SOUND JUST LIKE PANTERA!
plus rob flynn is yummyyyyy;p
& i love this song:)
With its aggressive and confrontational tone, this song is about the deception, corruption, and social injustice in our society. It's fueled with a sense of frustration and anger towards a system that perpetuates lies and inequality, which many may relate to. It speaks of the corrupting influence of power, denouncing those who prioritize personal gain and display a disregard for human life. The song suggests that the lies have been repeated and told so frequently that they no longer elicit sympathy or belief in those whom they pander to.
The same old bullshit, being fed to us over and over again.
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 killin' thousands of people 'Cause the power is the fix that he needs Racist goal of the white devil I watched our soul burnin' over oil A politician got no feelin' It makes my motherfuckin' cold blood boil
Reminds me of a certain president (and accomplices)
I agree. "I watched our soul burnin' over oil" refers to the gulf war.
I don't think this song will ever lose it's relevance ... we are fed lies everyday, and we either chose to swallow them or take a stand.
I suppose the choice is yours?
