Four Lies To Every Story

https://suno.com/song/ffe64a79-eb10-438a-a599-99ecf4632b8a

Verse 1

There’s a badge on the table, there’s blood on the floor

There’s a preacher swearing he’s seen this before

There’s a woman in black with a hand on a lie

And a man in the mirror won’t look me in the eye

Verse 2

Lawyer talks clean with a mouth full of smoke

Twists up the truth like a barroom joke

Jury’s half drunk on a headline spin

Don’t care what happened—just who walks in

Chorus

There’s always four lies to a story, my friend

One for the start and one for the end

One you believe and one you defend

But the best one wins in the end

Yeah the truth don’t shout, it just sits in the dark

While lies light fires and leave their mark

You can dig it up but it’s covered in sins—

There’s always four lies… and the best one wins

Verse 3

Newsman’s grinning with a script in his hand

Says “we’ll shape it up so the people understand”

But understanding ain’t what he sells

He just paints it pretty and rings the bells

Verse 4

Mama says “son, don’t you trust what you hear”

Daddy said “truth don’t last long ‘round here”

I seen both sides and I played both parts

Truth gets buried but a lie gets charts

Chorus

There’s always four lies to a story, my friend

One for the start and one for the end

One you believe and one you defend

But the best one wins in the end

Yeah the truth don’t shout, it just sits in the dark

While lies light fires and leave their mark

You can dig it up but it’s covered in sins—

There’s always four lies… and the best one wins

Bridge (tight, spoken edge)

I told the truth once… didn’t get me paid

So I dressed it up nice… now I got it made

Final Chorus (lifted, darker bite)

There’s always four lies to a story, it’s true

One they sell and one they use

One they print and one they choose

And the best one always gets through

Yeah the truth’s just a ghost in a rundown town

While lies wear crowns and never come down

You can swear on a Bible or cash your sins—

There’s always four lies… and the best one wins

Tag (outlaw shrug)

Ain’t about right… it’s about who spins

Robots improving I get a grunt and a hum

I cowrote this with Trump . He's quite happy with it . We went with a 50 50 split , then he screwed me in court for 25%. My Lawyer was an ambulance chaser and 4 bucks a hour . The judge was my ex wife . The jury were all from Nashville , I'm sure I heard one say we hate Californians
