Born to lie

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
