2000 Years Of Human Error
Godhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought you'd tell me the truth
But when you opened your mouth
Out came a family of flies

the book was already read
Could never help us from
Your conglomeration of lies
You probably beleive what you told me
A never ending cycle of greed
Pass it down to each generation
Another flock of sheep to mislead

Scratch me harder
Till I bleed
God the father
Spreads his seed

Liars,Liars
You sell it all to me
Liars,Liars
I'm what you'll never be

And it feels so good when you've
Sold another plot in the sky
Like your teacher before you
Really know how to sell your life

Scratch me harder
Till I bleed
God the father
Spreads his seed

Liars,Liars
You sell it all to me
Liars,Liars
I'm what you'll never be

Give me something
Something real
Everything I see is nothing I can feel
Give me something
Something real
Everything I see is nothing I can feel

Liars,Liars
You sell it all to me




Liars,Liars
I'm what you'll never be

I thought you'd tell me the truth
I expected honesty from you


But when you opened your mouth
But instead, when you spoke


Out came a family of flies
Your words were filled with deceit


The book was already read
We already know the truth


Could never help us from
But it hasn't saved us


Your conglomeration of lies
From your collection of falsehoods


You probably believe what you told me
You may even believe your own lies


A never-ending cycle of greed
But it's all just to feed your own desires


Pass it down to each generation
To be inherited by the next


Another flock of sheep to mislead
To continue deceiving and leading astray


Scratch me harder
Cause me pain


Till I bleed
Until I'm wounded


God the father
An allusion to religious authority


Spreads his seed
Propagates his beliefs


Liars, Liars
Addressing the deceitful


You sell it all to me
You're trying to convince me of something false


I'm what you'll never be
But I won't fall for it


And it feels so good when you've
And it's satisfying when you've successfully


Sold another plot in the sky
Convinced someone to believe in your false promises of salvation


Like your teacher before you
In the same way as those who came before you


Really know how to sell your life
You're an expert at promoting your own agenda


Give me something
Provide me with


Something real
Something authentic and true


Everything I see is nothing I can feel
Everything I witness is unconvincing


Liars, Liars
Addressing the deceitful again


You sell it all to me
You're trying to deceive me again


Liars, Liars
Addressing the deceitful for a final time


I'm what you'll never be
But I won't be deceived
