The opening track to Godsmack’s 2003 album Faceless, and the lead single from that album. Written by vocalist Sully Erna, “Straight Out Of Line” is a song dedicated to old friends who sneer at him from across the room because of his fame and success compared to them. How their attitude changed once...
[Verse 1]
There's no reason, there's no compromise
Change in seasons, living the high life
I don't know you, so don't freak on me
I can't control you, you're not my destiny
[Chorus]
Straight out of line, I can't find a reason

Straight out of line, I don't need a reason
You don't need to lie to me
[Verse 2]
I'll confess this: you're my tragedy
I laid you to rest just as fast as you turned on me
Gone forever, banished the memories
Displays of pleasure are masked by your misery
[Chorus]
Straight out of line, I can't find a reason
Why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line, I don't need a reason
You don't need to lie to me
Lie to me
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Straight out of line, I can't find a reason
Why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line, I don't need a reason
You don't need to, don't need to lie to me!
[Outro]
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
