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
