Born 2 Lie - The Goddamn Gallows

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 ten 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

well, i know i could repent and my god will forgive

but no regrets is how i motherfuckin' live

well, when i’m at the gates, being judged for what i’ve done

i know my time in hell has come

i know my time in hell has come

cuz i was born to lie
