It’s the same old lie, you gotta live with it/Or if you got sense then you better try changing it/But nothing is more difficult than changing what’s been comfortable/We’ve seen it tried a million times/It’s hard to think when hypnotized
from Same Old Lie lyrics by Jim James
Retro vibes underlining relevant issues. The beat pulses with energy, but James plays it cool. He’s demanding that people wake up and exercise their right to choose. Uncovering hypocritical nonsense is the foundation of the hook, but the rest of the song demands accountability from both voters and politicians alike. Not the most bombastic song, but enough electricity to send a jolt into the dead.
