About End to the Lies

"End to the Lies" is the first single by American alternative rock band Jane's Addiction, from their fourth album The Great Escape Artist. It was released on March 30, 2011, via digital download, the band's first new release after 2003's Strays. The song features TV on the Radio member Dave Sitek on bass, in place of the previous bassists Eric Avery and Duff McKagan. Master Musicians of Joujouka also contribute to the track on rhaita and additional percussion. The song was compared to the works and the style of the TV on the Radio. The song progresses from Dave Sitek's funk-inspired grooves. It is noted for its "hypnotic tribal rhythm", which was attributed to Master Musicians of Joujouka's involvement, and Dave Navarro's "fuzzed-out" guitar work on the verse riff, which gave an impression of "pulsating."

You sit around there telling stories
Taking chips for old past glories
I had never thought that you'd wake
I'm selling my abstruse missing
Parts that you can't use
That's why I never liked your pity party

You never really change like they say
Oh, you'll only become more like yourself
He thought he knew me back in the day
When I was down but now I'm still crying hell

You talk about me so much
That I think that you're in love with me
Yeah, you do, it's true man, your busted
You talk about me to your friends
Or anyone with time to listen
You could never ever be trusted

You never really change like they say
Oh, you'll only become more like yourself
He thought he knew me back in the day
When I was down but now I'm still crying hell

End to the lies, end to the lies
End to the lies, end to the lies

Now you
You were the foreskin
I was the real head
You were the foreskin

You never really change like they say
Oh, you'll only become more like yourself
He thought he knew me back in the day
When I was down but now I'm still crying hell

End to the lies, end to the lies
End to the lies, end to the lies
End to the lies, end to the lies
End to the lies, end to the lies
