Machine Head - A Thousand Lies Lyrics
What is a man that stays true to the game
But has to cheat a little to get by
Well that is a person that I know to well
Don't want to know, but I don't have to ask why
Everyone like a loaded gun
Don't need a reason, pain I'm feelin'
I gotta vent or else I blow inside
[Pre-chorus:]
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
[Chorus:]
Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails, the power to survive
What is a man that stays true to the game
But can't believe some of the things he sees
Anger's a gift and I won't be kept down
In poverty there is no democracy
Used needle and a crack vile
A broken bottle and a bullet shell
This urban life is so volatile
An inner city or a concrete hell
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
What is a man don't stay true to the game
Don't care for no one, only cares for his greed
He's playin' God killin' thousands of people
'Cause the power is the fix that he needs
Racist goal of the white devil
I watched our souls burnin' over oil
A politician got no feelin'
It makes my motherfuckin' cold blood boil
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

Machine Head A Thousand Lies Comments
damn this song is soooo good
Rob forgot the lyrics at 4:58 and now that’s all I hear
Man I've been waiting to see the original line up for like forever
Ludwigsburg 2020👍
NOT "SO LIVE" THOUGH ;)
To think there are still bands in 2019 with nu metal hair, black nail polish, and “pick it up” lyrics lol
One the best songs from one of my favorite metal records..Ass Kickin!!
I have that same blue guitar! Well, I'm sure his is a way better model.....
Hope MH will re record each of their albums 25 years after. Catharsis 2044

What is a man that stays true to the game
But has to cheat a little to get by
Well that's a person that I know too well
Don't want to know but I don't have to ask why
Everyone like a loaded gun
You want some shit I'll fuckin' pound you, son
Don't need a reason, pain I'm feelin'
I gotta vent or else I blow inside
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times
Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails the power to survive
What's a man that stays true to the game
But can't believe some of the things he sees
Anger's a gift and I won't be kept down
In poverty there is no democracy
Used needle and a crack vile
A broken bottle and a bullet shell
This urban life is so volatile
An inner city or a concrete hell
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times
Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails the power to survive
So pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, get up
What is a man don't stay true to the game
Don't care for no one, only cares for his greed
He's playin' God killin' thousands of people
'Cause the power is the fix that he needs
Racist goal of the white devil
I watched our soul burnin' over oil
A politician got no feelin'
It makes my motherfuckin' cold blood boil
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times
Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails the power to survive

Awsome! BME vibe! Dynamo 1995 flashbacks!
We need a new album with this line up

U guys are awesome together it is what it is u guys are awesome burn my Eyes first machine head album I heard in the day
imagine metallica would sound like this in 2019....omfg....
Can't Wait for Glasgow.
Yeah avengers assemble! This feels so right.
the best....
Adore this studio session
Machine-fuckin-Head! Favorite song!
At 22 in 1994 i had never heard anything to compete heavyness and groove wise to this album and Nailbomb, Ultimate in production at the time. And hate me, i liked burning red too
1994, another dreary train ride in for another dreary day of high school... whip out my headphones, Machinehead, press play… get through the day
AWESOME!!! \M/\M/
Machine head is probably dead after this, Love the machine head music but word on the street is Flynn is a real asshole to work with... the money and bullshit just is worth it, that’s the just I got when I heard Phil with Jose from SiriusXM...
still love it!!
The only MACHINE HEAD!!!!!
Does anyone know what model Ibanez Logan is playing in this video? I really like the neck thru design that is pretty rare for an Ibanez. Doesn’t look like a normal basswood body either, at least not the front of the body.
I´m 40. Still listen and drink a fucking Beer. Memories. One of the 5 best Albums all time for me
Still tight after all the years!!
How to fuck a big hit? So slow....
5:40 so heavy🤘
Trump thousand lies idiot
Heavier than it was in the 90s...
My god. I have pre cum in my draws. They are still tight as a virgins asshole.
The Class remains a Class !! 👑👊😎🤘 .. Btw, sound is awesome !! Roots of Machine Head !! Respect !!
This is soooooo great!
136 fucking whoppers that dont like this, go shite... this is top drawer
Sloooooooow :)
Это охуенно!!!
So pick it up pick it up get up!!
Kontos is a badass drummer dude
Chris is killin it
"Live" in the "studio"... wait...what...
Wish you would entertain a bass player that don't use a pick like me. Lol. You are all bad ass.
This is fucking crushing!
banda muito loka adoro porrada tempo todo.
hahahhaa
meaty asf
This right here is why I dig Logan Mader.
Robb's got EMGs in his $2000 Flying V Gibson. Mader is just rocking out on an Ibanez RGAT-62 in Saphire Blue Flat with Passive Pickups. A $500 Guitar. That's a man after my own heart, philosophy and gear wise.
Muito clichê...
number of the best
Awesome. That end was sick.
When is the rest of the songs coming?
Ok this is great to see. But where is Adam Duce. This lineup is not complete without him
You mean Adam Douche?
I'm glad he isn't back.
This song goes out to the biased pricks that call themselves journalists. This song goes out to ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC. A THOUSAND LIES BEEN TOLD A THOUSAND TIMES.
Are those the same 5150s that were used on the original?
Perfect sound
1994 , 16 years old i bought burn my eyes and still remains my fav. MH album.
where is the old drummer x( ? that guy was playing so clear man
m.head deveria de sacar un disco en vivo con esta formacion estaria chingon k duren.....
Sound is incredible
Без души(( Исполняют качественно, но не цепляет, увы(
@Zigedi Zach У меня есть план и я его придерживаюсь!
Holy shit man I cannot believe I missed this band when I was growing up somehow they slipped through the cracks on me I'm watching these remix video's moshing the living room like a kid just bought Burn my eyes yesterday .
Killer...still a killer 🤤 fuck....🤘 The greatest album ever 🍾😈💉😎🤘🤤
thank youuuuu !! ^^
Whoever was the engineer/editor did a great job... Audio wise is all I'm talking about...
This and I'm your God now should have been in the set list from the get go, from 94' to 24'.
After Supercharge i stop hearing you,but this ,one love.
pls check out their cd the blackening
Awesomeness and looking great
Just want it to go through my bose system 😃😃
Sounds really good 😃😃
Will it be a DVD? 😃😃😃
Chrisssssssssss ! Luv u !
Seems to be way more hardcore punk influence in this band than I'd realised before....nice one.
Better in 2019 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song is just fucking heavy man. Love the breakdown and solo on this one, makes the hairs stand tall!
