lyrics

Head out west down Roosevelt Road
where the kids on the corner sell rocks and blows.
"Hey white boy, what you need today?"
give me three blows and I'm on my way.
Head downtown on a green line train
looking for spike to put in my brain
four dollars gets a pack of ten
and I bang it in the bathroom and I'm off again.

I'm livin' a lie oh I'm livin' big damn lie
getting real low and I'm calling it high,
living a big damn lie.

Walk around town with the pin-needle eyes
itching and scratching like I got a bug bite.
People looking at me like what a strange guy,
he must be drunk, stupid or high.
Start to sweat and I start to ache
almost time to take my break.
I need another thing just to finish my day
so I'm back on the train and I'm off again

I'm livin' a lie oh I'm livin' big damn lie
getting real low and I'm calling it high,
living a big damn lie.

I don't know where I been, or where I'm going.
Doesn't matter if it's raining, or if it's snowing.
All I know is I got mine
and I ain't bound for wasting no more time.

I'm livin' a lie oh I'm livin' big damn lie
getting real low and I'm calling it high,
living a big damn lie.

Whoa oh I'm a livin'
Whoa oh I'm a livin'
Whoa oh I'm a livin'
Whoa oh I'm a livin' a lie
Getting real low and I'm calling it high
Livin' a big damn lie
