Lie to Me
John Mellencamp
Lie to me
Lord knows I'm used to it
So lie to me
You know I don't really care
I never took much trouble
With the truth myself
So lie to me
Lord knows I'm used to it
So lie to me
Well, the churches and the preachers do
So lie to me
The history books and the teachers did too
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
In fact I don't mind trouble at all
So lie to me
Lord knows I'm used to it
You can plan on the future
You can live your life in the past
Dream of your dreams
But nothing in this life is going to last
As the days become a little bit shorter
And our time here is almost gone
You can lie to me
Sing me to sleep with your song
You can lie to me
Lord knows we're used to it
