Cover art for A Thousand Lies lyrics by Machine Head

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.
