Squandering my family heirlooms
Living in a cheap motel room
Breathing in the dusty air
And wondering what brought me here

Bruised my wrist on a splintered cross
Tried my hand at casting lots
Took the spear, everyone watched
Blood and water's what I got

I've been living a lie,
I've been living a lie, been living a lie
I wanna make it alright, wanna make it alright
Wanna make it alright

Taking up a choke-chain gospel
Hoping that the yoke won't cost you
Buying sips up from the well
I've learned grace is not for sale

I've been living a lie,
I've been living a lie, been living a lie
I wanna make it alright, wanna make it alright
Wanna make it alright

I've been living a lie,
I've been living a lie, been living a lie
I wanna make it alright, wanna make it alright
Wanna make it alright

I won't give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up now (x4)

I've been living a lie,
I've been living a lie, been living a lie
I wanna make it alright, wanna make it alright
Wanna make it alright

I've been living a lie,
I've been living a lie, been living a lie
I wanna make it alright, wanna sleep at night
Wanna make it alright

I won't give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up now (x4)
