Someone Told A Lie Lyrics


Someone told me about your
Somebody gossiped about my
But nobody warned us about those
Someone told a lieNow 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 youWe'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 lieSome folks say I'm a sinner
Some people claim I'm a saint
But nobody knows who's the winner
The truth was told too lateNow 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 go by
Just when truth was needed someone told a lie
But I'll do what I have to you do what you can

Just to keep on searching for the pride of manAll those tears we wasted wondering why
All those years were wasted fighting liesSomeone told me about your
Somebody gossiped about my
But nobody warned us about those
Someone told a lieNow 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 youWe'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 lieBut I'll do what I have to, you'll do what you can
Just to keep on searching for the pride of man

Steppenwolf is a rock band which formed in Los Angeles, California, United States in 1967. The band originally consisted of John Kay (vocals, guitar), Michael Monarch (guitar), Rushton Moreve (bass), Goldie McJohn (keyboards) and Jerry Edmonton (drums). The band is best known for their hit singles "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride". They were named after the novel Der Steppenwolf by German author Hermann Hesse.

Frontman John Kay's mother escaped with him at age 4 from Soviet occupied East Germany, an event recounted in the song "Renegade" on the album Steppenwolf Seven. His family resettled in Hannover, West Germany, before moving to Canada in 1958. Kay is partially blind, hence the use of dark glasses

In 1968, Nick St. Nicholas replaced Moreve as bass player.

Steppenwolf had its origins in the Toronto blues band Sparrow, which was formed in 1964 and played coffeehouses in Yorkville. By 1967 they had settled in San Francisco.

Steppenwolf rocketed to fame after their third single, "Born to Be Wild" was used in the movie Easy Rider, as well as "The Pusher". The former song may have coined the term "heavy metal". This was followed by several more hits, including "Magic Carpet Ride" from Steppenwolf the Second, and "Rock Me" from At Your Birthday Party. Many fans consider their double album Steppenwolf Live [an extended single album in the UK] the best of Steppenwolf's releases. Monster and For Ladies Only were the band's most political albums, and are still fondly remembered by fans as two of the best rock & roll snapshots of the attitudes of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The band broke up in 1971, and Kay pursued a solo career. Steppenwolf reformed in 1974 with the album Slow Flux, and disbanded in 1976. Afterwards, several versions of the band toured North America until Kay reformed the official version of the group in 1980.

John Kay released a solo album in 2001.
