When I was a boy they said “son now don’t you lie” I learned to do it while looking in their eyes my daddy said “you fool, don’t you know the truth will set you free?” oh, my Lord, well, that don’t mean shit to me
'cuz I hurt so many from the first day out the womb and I’ll hurt so many more until they put me in my tomb wipe away your tears, I don’t care if I made you cry haven’t you figured out by now I was born to lie
when I was a boy, they said “now go confess your sins” I went up to a priest and I told him what I did he said “God have mercy then hail mary’s on your knees” I threw away all of my rosaries
'cuz I hurt so many from the first day out the womb and I’ll hurt so many more until they put me in my tomb wipe away your tears, I don’t care if I made you cry haven’t you figured out by now I was born to lie I was born to lie
