Someone Told a Lie Songtext
von Steppenwolf

Someone told me about your mother
Somebody gossiped about my wife
But nobody warned us about those answers
Someone told a lie
Now we don′t trust in each other's faces
And I don′t know what to think about you
'Cause we can't stand in each other′s places
And I can′t trade with you
We've had times together where the sparks would fly
But in stormy weather we stood side by side
Now we′re cold and distant watching love roll by
Just when truth was needed someone told a lie
Some folks say I'm a sinner
Some people claim you′re a saint
But nobody knows who's the winner
The truth was told too late
I was raised to believe that you′re different
And I was told not to play with your kind
Does anyone know why they were so hell-bent
On poisoning our minds?


Now we're cold and distant watching love roll by
Just when truth was needed someone told a lie
But I'll do what I have to, you′ll do what you can
Just to keep on searching for the pride of man
All the tears we′ve tasted wondering why
All those years were wasted fighting lies
Someone told me about your wife, yeah
Somebody gossiped about my wife
But nobody warned us about those answers
Someone told a lie
Now we don't trust in each other′s faces
And I don't know what to think about you
′Cause we can't stand in each other′s places
And I can't trade with you
We've had times together where the sparks would fly
But in stormy weather we stood side by side
Now we′re cold and distant watching love roll by
Just when truth was needed someone told a lie
But I′ll do what I have to, you'll do what you can
Just to keep on searching for the pride of man
