Jim James - Same Old Lie Lyrics
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
Try to make you forget just what it is you're really made of
And follow on just like most everyone
But you and me, we ain't like most everyone
Pure individual, bright as the shining sun
And sure as hell we know where it is we come from
And where it is, yeah, we probably going back to it
But now we gonna live a little, try and get a little truth
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same old lie you been readin' 'bout
Bleedin' out, now who's getting cheated out?
You best believe it's the silent majority
If you don't vote it's on you not me
It's the same old lie, told from the dawn of time
Yeah, stretch it out a little, try to milk every last dime
Hate crimes, shelter lines
They try to take what's yours and mine
Is there any peace to be found in a lifetime?
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same old lie, you gotta live with it
Or if you got sense then you better try changing it
But nothing is more difficult than changing what's been comfortable
We've seen it tried a million times
It's hard to think when hypnotized
A lie's a lie, it destroys from the inside
Decays the teeth from behind that false smile
A lie's a lie and I've told my share
But I know I'm gonna suffer for the shit I put out there
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
When it's the same old lie I think I died a little
Gun drawn, faces long, how much killing can be done?
It's the same old lie they tell you when you die
There are mansions up in heaven
Fifty virgins off in the sky
When you can't trade today for some far off promise of tomorrow
Can't build love out of guns, blood, and sorrow
They say we can't live together but we know that's a lie
'Cause we know it in our heart we can make it if we try
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same old lie

Jim James Same Old Lie Comments
i had part of this stuck in my head all day then spent the rest of the day trying to find the song
Now THIS is quality music. Not even 1000 views??????
quite refreshing when someone in the music industry goes against the grain. The common man is lied to about everything. Your news is CIA run. The reason for wars is never what you're told. We the people are indeed hypnotized and unable to think for ourselves and just with the herd, like sheep. Until enough people wake up, things will not change. We finally have a President who is not a puppet, but since CNN tells the people he is bad, they believe it. They pay not attention to his accomplishments. To some degree, if the news says its bad, its probably good and vice versa. The keep the majority of Americans just happy enough and along with the brainwashing that they refuse to stand up the control mechanisms. One only needs to know basic things such as the The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States is not federally run but PRIVATE. Amazing how few people know this. Basically the CIA starts war for the bankers. Governments borrow money from the PRIVATELY OWNED banks. The people pay the loans back with interest! Basic example but it is the truth. War is about money, PERIOD. People need to get their head out of the fucking sand and wake up or our kids are all gonna be slaves(worse than we are now). Agenda 21. Thank you Jim James. Good tune btw. Well done sir. Hope you haven't been black balled too bad
I love this video but it really ruins the impact when you put the end card overlays on before the video is finished.
I want to start Our own self sufficient community... with Jim being Our musical / spiritual shaman!
... Keep preaching that conscious gospel Jim!!
Imagine watching this stoned ( good song by the way )
Swear he's so under rated, a long time spotify suggested him since than I love his music. Has such a psychedelic feeling to it.
I’ve been thinking about the message of “I’m not enough” as a LIE since a student shared Jim James’s song “Same Old Lie.” At the start of my “Writing for Social Justice” class, we typically listen to protest songs. Students bring into class music that they enjoy, music that shapes their understandings of justice. With appreciation for the song and for more of this response: https://heart-head-hands.com/2017/02/22/countering-the-lie-of-im-not-enough/ ...
you are now talking to my subconscious please send help
!WOW! THANK YOU FOR SHARING---
did he do the Jason bourne tune at the end?..nah
discovered JJ today...3-3-2017--awesome relief
amazing
Perfect song for the inauguration in 2017.
dat ending
If Saint Jim says it's a lie, then it's a lie.
Great vibes!
ISIS, listen to this.
agreed, along with anyone in America who puts the faith in our government. Sorry to those this offends, power corrupt.
mrfro35
if you don't like the government ???
what you do---- go---- to Washington DC and help the Government work for it
so you CAN HELP--- US also---- --
Nice Yim.
This is fucking beautiful. I hope whoever disliked this realizes. Thank you, Jim James.
WFUV brought me here.
4:22 mmmmmmmmmmmm soooooooo gewwwwwddddd
Religion IS a lie..thanks Jim.
jacksprat418
where is it SAYING----- about religion being- a lie???
I didn't get it!
That was my interpretation. I have no idea if that was what JJ was implying.
Marge Schroeder and religion I believe
Fantastic new tune
Why aren't people watching this?
I am bro, chill.
ryderup Because musically, they’re zombies. Only watching what’s commercial and generic. “Different/alternative” is exactly where it’s at.
Its too Honest. Too real. Shocks People. We just want to be numb so we suffer less. And then we want a Saviour. Who would only become one, by suffering. Otherwise it would be another Lying Tyrant.
at 3:38 it turns up. thank you jim.
Can't wait for the full album to be released.
I heard him play it live a few days ago and it was fantastic. LOVE IT. His band which is members of Twin Limb, is a nice, interesting fit. The vocal harmonies with the female are sweet.
Loving it!
Last minute of the song is INSANE. Great one Jim dude!
Jim for President
no one else but Yim
Always cool, always something new from Jim James - that goes for visuals, lyrics, and the tune! The last show at the Beacon in NYC last November really changed me for the better. See you in Austin in December Yim!!!
Nice song
What lie is that? I'll have to listen to it again. Long song but kept up my interest. Also, my iPad doesn't have the best speakers. Love Indie.
I think what he means by that is the Government telling us the same lie over and over again and we trade in our humanity and free will to comply with their ways.
Religion...
no not specifically trump, thats dumb. trump is part of it tho, as is every political/ religious figure
Digging! Love me all the Yim.
Sweet tune! Come play it in TORONTO yo!!!!!!
