The Menzingers
Tellin’ Lies
[Verse 1]
Oh yeah oh yeah, everything is terrible
Buyin' marijuana makes ya feel like a criminal
When your new friends take a joke too literal
Makin' ya feel like the bad guy

[Refrain]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Where are we gonna go-oh-oh?
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Now that our twenties are over?

[Verse 2]
Oh yeah oh yeah, all hope abandoned
I'm not young enough to be a companion
Not old enough to be a guide
What a cliché; time to try-y-y

[Refrain]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Where are we gonna go-oh-oh?
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Now that our twenties are over?

[Chorus]
Where we gonna go now that our twenties are over?
Where we gonna go now that our twenties are over?
Where we gonna go now that our twenties are over?
Everyone's askin' me over and over
(Where we gonna go now that our twenties are over?)
The decade taken hostage by
(Where we gonna go now that our twenties are over?)
My own guilty conscience
(Where we gonna go now that our twenties are over?)
"When ya gonna quit this nonsense?"
Oh, everyone's askin' me over and over
[Post-Chorus]
But I don't
Mind tellin'
Lie-ie-ie-ie-ies
Lie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ies

[Verse 3]
So oh yeah oh yeah, let's go to Vegas
Put it all on black, get married by Elvis
If we wake up broke, we'll be fine
We'll get rich in another lifetime
[Refrain]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Where are we gonna go-oh-oh?
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Now that our twenties are over?

[Chorus]
Where we gonna go now that our twenties are over?
Where we gonna go now that our twenties are over?
Where we gonna go now that our twenties are over?
Everyone's askin' me over and over
(Where we gonna go now that our twenties are over?)
The decade taken hostage by
(Where we gonna go now that our twenties are over?)
My own guilty conscience
(Where we gonna go now that our twenties are over?)
"When ya gonna quit this nonsense?"
Oh, everyone's askin' me over and over
[Post-Chorus]
But I don't
Mind tellin'
Lie-ie-ie-ie-ies
Lie-ie-ie-ie-ies

[Bridge]
Like tension you can cut with a knife
Like a weddin' ring that never fit right
Like a car alarm that won't stop howlin'
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

[Outro]
Is it wrong to say that things can change? (Tellin' lie-ie-ies)
Is it wrong to say that things can change? (Tellin' lie-ie-ies)
Is it wrong to say that things can change? (Tellin' lie-ie-ies)
Is it wrong to say that things can change? (Tellin' lie-ie-ies)
Is it wrong to say that things can change? (Tellin' lie-ie-ies)
Is it wrong to say that things can change? (Tellin' lie-ie-ies)
Is it wrong to say that things can change? (Tellin' lie-ie-ies)
Is it wrong to say that things can change? (Tellin' lie-ie-ies)
