Van Zant Livin' A Lie Lyrics

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!
