Francis, Sage - Love The Lie Lyrics






You gotta love the lie
You gotta love the lie
Love (love) life (life)
Love (love) God, girls and lies
I can't hear through those veneers
But you keep speaking with those pearly whites
Love the life that you live if it gives love back
You aint gotta stay together for the kids
If you want to disappear don't announce it
Vanish in thin air and bounce quick
Fix the cowlick slick your hair back
Ride the rim bare back you stared at
Lady Godiva might have been an exhibitionist
I'm not here to judge voyeuristic fetishes
If nobody looked its a closed book
You could put your hang ups on a coat hook
I'm from a puritanical land where they burn witches
I'm the result of a welfare runnin up your sickness
Cure never came jesus never helped
We were all to blame god beat us with a belt
If I heard your name I'd retreat into myself
I won't hurt your name I'll keep it to myself with

Love (love) life (life)
Love (God) girls and lies
I can't hear you through those veneers
But you keep speaking through those pearly whites

No legacy to claim no enemies to squelch
No chemical imbalance that could remedy yourself
Pedestals for the parents medicine is on the shelf
Put the trophy in the spotlight watch as it melts
Metal would've survive plastic is cheaper
Ran into the fire she asked me to leave her
I did what I could with the wood and the flammables
Stood with the good little animals ran with the bulls
Soot on my hands that were full put the good book on the mantle
Burn baby burn you could serve as a candle
Last thing I heard was her on the piano
Last thing I saw was her being her self
By beating her self to see if it could help

If I heard your name I'd retreat into myself
I won't hurt your name I'll keep it to myself with

Love (love) life (life)
Love (God) girls (girls) and lies
I can't hear through those veneers
But you keep speaking through those pearly whites

Love the lie
Love the lie
Love the lie

  4. U.... C....

    Still a really dope song coming back to it! Sage's flow and genre-bending composition together are just really nice man

  5. J.... k....

    Still here

  6. P.... M....

    The beginning of MGTOW. Look how much he did for her and at the end she's just 'here's your heart back baby, I found a new one'

  7. D.... ....

    I hate it when people say love the life you live...

  8. N.... L....

    thank you I rock ur name on my skate bored really helped out when I needed it ppl always ask and I say ( check this out )

    Sage Francis - "Love The Lie"

  10. B.... U....

    heard about sage on deathsquad. man am i glad i did. cool artist

    B.... U....

    he was in a bad religion song. that's how I heard of him

  11. F.... S....

    Sage 4 King

  12. t.... f....

    Im that poor robot, right now

  13. b.... ....

    If you LOVE Sage Francis, you NEED to check Antix "question everything" like Sage, Antix's music also has extreme meaning.

  14. R.... ....

    "The Best of Times" on the sign.

  15. B.... W....

    I feel really dumb for asking this but what does PKA have to do with this?

  16. R.... P....

    this shit is bad ass im a big fan

  17. k.... ....

    All good things you said.Good to know deep thinking people.Peace.

  18. e.... ....

    Agreed all around, I merely misinterpreted I suppose. When you look in the mirror and realize that is another person - wisdom for sure. I for one dig what you have said here. I manage life by a value system. If honesty is one of those, then you will do damn well not to break it - dishonest to yourself is worse than someone being dishonest to you.

  19. F.... B....

    i love his music, it has a meaning and is good to listen to, but thats my opinion

  20. M.... W....

    One of the most underrated rappers out

  21. J.... S....

    Hey Moe.

  22. k.... ....

    We all make choices based on what our limited knowledge, experiences and fear allow us to expose and understand. I am a different person than I was 15 years ago and did a 360 from being naive as all get out to almost 33 and still struggle with trust. We can only fail and wallow in self-pity or try again,hopefully with more wisdom.
    I was not being altruistic, just poetic. I thought it sounded clever. Thank you for the pleasant discourse all the same!

  23. G.... ....

    Pee-Kay-Aye!

  24. l.... ....

    Lefty is a racist

  25. e.... ....

    I think this is completely backwards. Altruism will suffocate you, absolutely.

  26. O.... H....

    Awesome song!!! Sad but meaningful music video. Repin PKA!!!!

  27. k.... ....

    The key to a good relationship is looking through windows not one sided mirrors.

  28. K.... ....

    thats corny as fuck but its true

  29. B.... P....

    Aren't you the same fuck that endorsed A$ap Rocky over Aesop Rock. You hold no credibility.

  30. a.... ....

    a.... ....

  39. M.... R....

  40. A.... ....

    I've been that robot since the 7th grade. God I'm pathetic

  41. W.... ....

  42. D.... ....

  43. e.... ....

  55. m.... ....

    Thanks you Sage. RIP Mark. Favorite from this album.

  56. b.... ....

    I found Francis while searching for a different style of rap, I have been hooked ever since.

  57. C.... M....

    wings!!!

  58. L.... ....

    Wings <3

  59. A.... K....

    wings sent me

  60. m.... ....

    great stuff, aint gonna lie only found sage after listening to scroobius pip, but im glad i did very entertaining.

  61. c.... ....

    this one deserves more views - both in quality of video ans song.

  62. h.... ....

    @millianderson Fuck that shit. He wants people to hear and like his music, like any fucking musician. Have you ever made a piece of art? Ever? You want people to see it, to hear it or to read it. Will you sacrifice your dignity or your morals for that? Maybe, hopefully, not, but you still want for people to hear it.

  63. P.... P....

    @hojima i think its because he likes it that way...

  64. i.... ....

    @chubbywater5 Touche...

  65. c.... ....

    @iEpiTapHv only if there's truth to that lie

  66. i.... ....

    @chubbywater5 Thats a lie. :P

  67. c.... ....

    This song does not get enough plays. Fucking beautiful. Sage hit me up sometime when you're feeling down and Ill tell you a joke. Later brother.

  68. c.... ....

    I love this.

  69. M.... T....

    @AcephalousPoultry
    How so? The female robot never created anything in the vid? She did however get cosmetic "improvements" a chest plate like a woman getting fake tit implants or plastic surgery. But that definitely doesn't make her better, that's just an image inhanser. She then clowns the robot that gave her his heart. And goes with another male robot cause love is a lie alot of the time and its not for real. Thats what happened in the vid, and that how life goes so - Love the "LI(f)E".

  70. A.... ....

    @M3stunt777 that wasn't my interpretation, that is what happened.

  71. M.... T....

    Also thanks to Sage Francis for making sick songs!

  72. M.... T....

    @AcephalousPoultry
    It's ur opinion on how u interpret the vid. But I don't see the female robot as better then him. I see it as she takes him forgranted, he gives her everything he has 2 make her happy cause he loves her. Even his literal heart, but in the end she used & screwed him over by going with some1 else. Like ppl saying they will leave some1 4 the "next best thing" that doesn't necessarily mean who they moved on 2 is better. Like believing the grass is always greener on the other side.

  73. l.... ....

    @hojima you know why.. its because he doesnt rap about money, sex and bitches. because in todays world you must rap about those things to be considered good

  74. I.... L....

    he is a true artist!!

  75. s.... p....

    did what i could with the wood and the flammables
    stood with the good little animals
    ran with the bulls

  76. I.... B....

    @hojima It's because he speaks the truth, whereas the only popular thing in mainstream rap is drugs, killing, and fucking...

  77. A.... ....

    hahaha! that was a pretty clever video, never expected the girl he created that was better than him to create a better man for herself..

  78. M.... R....

    Guys, take a close look to this robot...

    Haven't you seen it before?

    I have....

    I was that robot...

    And some of you too...

  79. P.... L....

    HELL YES!!!
    song's pretty damn sick.

  80. S.... D....

    great song

  81. h.... ....

    @kappy0405 I wouldnt call them bitter black men... its the ramblings of cynical lyric writers that know what the public wants to hear.

  82. k.... ....

    'Popularity' in this day and age, at least in terms of hip hop, only comes with redundant synth beats that any 12 year old with a copy of fruity loops can make, coupled with the also redundant, meaningless ramblings of bitter black men.

    I'd rather Sage remain unpopular.

  83. D.... _....

    Ahhhhh this song! It actually makes sense with the video too!

  84. C.... B....

    @kyoukilis20 nonetheless, skill should = fame, ideally. its odd to keep the same old stereotypical sound on top of mainstream, when really it shouldve always been the artists like him, who never bullshit.

  85. h.... ....

    @kyoukilis20 I would rather that he get some fucking money for his hard work. I have enough faith in him that he wouldnt change for the worse. Look at bands like tool. They are huge, but through their whole career they have never compromised in terms of their vision.

  86. k.... ....

    @hojima I know what you mean, but I think that people make way too big a deal about popularity. I would rather he stay under the radar, I've seen way too many artists, especially rap, get popular and then change for the worse.

  87. J.... R....

    I love me some sage,. This vid reminded me of that famous Tool video. In a good way.

  88. M.... F....

    @hojima all about promotion, and big labels. forget the uncomfortable truths he speaks of. most people do not like the truth. ignorance is bliss. love the lie....

  89. M.... D....

    the videography and graphics are interesting

  90. M.... D....

    people like all the drama thats y

  91. A.... T....

    no legacy to claim, no enemys to squelch, no chemical imbalance to remedy yourself . fucking dope

  92. c.... r....

    this man is the best thing to listen to will snow boarding skating all of that sort of sports.
    the man is a god.

  93. i.... ....

    thank you Sage Francis for hte music, and Jim Foltice, thanks for the artistic stop-motion. Most enjoyed!

  94. s.... ....

    you know it really pisses me off that when watchignt his video i scroll over to "suggestions" off this video and one of them is "miley cyruse Party in the USA" haha
