The Menzingers

Tellin' Lies

Oh yeah, oh yeah, everything is terrible

When buying marijuana makes you feel like a criminal

When your new friends take a joke too literal

Making you feel like the bad guy

Oh where are we gonna go

Oh now that our twenties are over?

Oh yeah, oh yeah, all hope abandoned

I'm not young enough to be your companion

Not old enough to be your guide

What a cliche time to try

Oh where are we gonna go

Oh now that our twenties are over?

Where are we gonna go now that our twenties are over?

Everyone's asking me over and over

The decade taken hostage

By my own guilty conscience

When you gonna quit this nonsense?

Everyone's asking me over and over

But I don't mind telling lies, lies

So oh yeah, oh yeah, let's go to Vegas

Put it all on black and get married by Elvis

If we wake up broke, we'll be fine

We'll get rich in another lifetime

Oh where are we gonna go

Oh now that our twenties are over?

Where are we gonna go now that our twenties are over?

Everyone's asking me over and over

The decade taken hostage

By my own guilty conscience

When you gonna quit this nonsense?

Everyone's asking me over and over

But I don't mind telling lies, lies

Like tension you can cut with a knife

Like a wedding ring that never fit right

Like a car alarm that won't stop howling

A decade lost in the motions

To romance and cheap whiskey

The subtle sound of a fleeting feeling

Like four chords that don't love you no more

In a motel room, a sleeping bag on the floor

Is it wrong to say that things can change? (Telling lies)
