歌词
Been reading guys like Kerouac and Baldwin
Wondering how you get a life so grand
Wondering when adventure will come calling
So I can toughen up my hands and be a man
But I had a thought at 2 p.m. this morning
Waking with day high above my head
What if all these stories are just stories?
Bits from their own lives, all kind of boring
Mixed with shit from other guys they read?
So what if I lie?
Bend the truth a bit?
What if I lie
When my life won't cut it?
If I gotta lie, to sell a few more tickets then
You know I'm gonna lie
Once I drove a truck across the country
Loaded with some other people's trash
Three extra hours to Indiana's city, where we
Snuck out to hit the bars with tips in cash
We knew no one and had to find an angle
Thought surely budding rockstars can get laid!
We spewed some shit about a fancy label
Friends and drinks collected at our table, and we
Disappeared into the night we made
So what if I lie?
Bend the truth a bit?
What if I lie
When my life won't cut it?
If I gotta lie, to forge a drunken friendship then
You know I'm gonna lie
Time is, oh a prism
Through which we all refract.
Just change perspective position,
And see how the light will act
So what if I lie?
Bend the truth a bit?
What if I lie
When my life won't cut it?
If I gotta lie, to sell a few more tickets then
You know I'm gonna lie
