Artist/Band: Van Zant
Lyrics for Song: Livin' A Lie
Lyrics for Album: Brother To Brother [2003]



You get high everyday

Chisled out of the marked man on your grave

Throwing blood, you're half dead

If you don't hear those voices, they're gonna get you yet

You don't care, man what you do

Devil's eyes on you



It's got your mind and won't let go

It won't be long before you're beggin' him for your soul

You know it's going down

And'll hit you low

No matter how much you have

You can't get enough

You don't care, man what you do

Devil's eyes on you



(You're only livin' a lie)

You call this livin'?

(You're only livin' a lie)

You better stop before you die

(You're only livin' a lie)

Just keep livin' a lie



The choice is yours

Talk is cheap

You better face up to the facts man you're in to deep

You gotta shake it loose, get yourself free

Better pray to the Lord man

Get on your knees

But you don't care

Man, what you do

The Devil's eyes on you



(You're only livin' a lie)

You call this livin'?

(You're only livin' a lie)

You better stop before you die

(You're only livin' a lie)

Just keep livin' a lie



Don't you be a statistic

Don't you lie before the man

When you've got a child that wants to love you

Get that monkey off your back

I know the pain of your denial

Is like a rope around your mane

It's growing tighter

Yeah you're livin' a lie

Livin' a lie!



(You're only livin' a lie)

You call this livin'?

(You're only livin' a lie)

You better stop before you die

(You're only livin' a lie)

Just keep livin' a lie

(You're only livin a lie)

Ooh!

(You're only livin'...livin'...livin' a lie)

Man you're livin' a lie

(You just keep livin'... livin'... livin' a lie)

You better stop before you die

(You're only livin'...livin'...livin' a lie)

(You just keep livin'... livin'... livin' a lie)

Oh you're livin' a lie!

(You're only livin'...livin'...livin' a lie)

(You just keep livin'... livin'... livin' a lie)

You better stop before you die!
