“Everyone Lies to Me” is track number 5 on Chicago-based pop punk band Knuckle Puck’s second full length studio album, Shapeshifter.
With the dawning of “fake news” and “alternative facts,” public confidence in American institutions have reached record lows. Knuckle Puck notes this trend in their s...
[Verse 1]
They’ll cut tax for crooked and corporate
They’ll buy your pride and make you want what they don’t know how to sell
The kickback is all talk and no throws
'Cause education only taught you what they want you to know
Yeah
Sure
Yeah
Sure
[Verse 2]
The cash grabs and boomer semantics
Our dreams are murdered by the mortgage every first of the month
So sit back and tune out the false flags
The consolation is something you’ll never get back
[Chorus]
Everyone
(Everyone around me)
Slipped blindly into the molds they made
Everyone
Everyone lies to me, lies to me
[Verse 3]
They’ll mark every outlier as an enemy of the state
If they don’t look just like me
Do you even stop to think?
[Chorus]
(Everyone)
Everyone around me
Slipped blindly into the molds they made
(Everyone)
Everyone lies to me, lies to me
[Bridge]
That Harry Bailey is a monster
(Monster)
He squandered everything
(He squandered everything)
Every penny that his brother had to offer
He squandered everything
He squandered everything
And I would let it all out
But you prefer the fiction
(And I would let it all out)
And I would let it all out
But you prefer the bullshit
[Chorus]
Everyone
(Everyone around me)
Slipped blindly into the molds they made
(Everyone)
Everyone lies to me, lies to me
[Chorus]
Everyone
(Everyone around me)
Slipped blindly into the molds they made
(Everyone)
Everyone lies to me, lies to me
[Outro]
Yeah
Sure
