Lie On Lie Lyrics
Any town, any day - the separation's real
And I find it is based on nothing
Passed from father to son, Mothers to their girls
Enough
And I fall once again from my own ideals
And I fight back the fear of something
That I don't understand, but learned when I was young
I know that it's strange
I know it's strange and
I think it will take us more than legislation
I think it will take us more than filling graves
And I say that you can not force appreciation
Lie on lie
I will not run away from the battle now
If it seems it's a way of fighting
I will just pass away pieces of my life
'Cause I know that it's right, I know that it's right and
I think it will take us more than legislation
I think it will take us more than filling graves
And I say that you can not force appreciation
Lie on lie
(I know)
I think it will take us more than legislation
I think it will take us more than filling graves
And I say that you can not force appreciation
Lie on lie
Oh, and I said lie on lie
And I said lie on lie
I said
And I find it is based on nothing
Passed from father to son, Mothers to their girls
Enough
And I fight back the fear of something
That I don't understand, but learned when I was young
I know that it's strange
I know it's strange and
I think it will take us more than filling graves
And I say that you can not force appreciation
Lie on lie
If it seems it's a way of fighting
I will just pass away pieces of my life
'Cause I know that it's right, I know that it's right and
I think it will take us more than filling graves
And I say that you can not force appreciation
Lie on lie
I think it will take us more than filling graves
And I say that you can not force appreciation
Lie on lie
And I said lie on lie
I said

The first verse is about racial / religious / or other types of separation that are based upon the beliefs of the individual groups.
Similarly, "passed from father to son, mothers to their girls" could be about gender lines, and the acceptance of inequality passed on by each generation.
The chorus is simple: Laws and wars will not solve the issues. It will take time and mutual respect of one another's beliefs to make change happen.
The second verse is a bit more esoteric. It could be that the author is stating that he will not stop fighting for change, even if his fight is passive, instead of aggressive.
