Was it a Lie Lyrics by Sleater Kinney

Was it a Lie Lyrics

    the yard was cold and dark

    the track was clearly marked
    but she was tired, she didn't see
    she was just out alone
    she wasn't going home
    she was going somewhere far away

    the train was moving through
    as we know the world has to do
    everyone will say it was her fault
    somewhere a camera's placed
    inside this awful place
    the accident is about to start

    was it a lie?
    did it fill your head?
    did it entertain?
    will you feel alive at the end of it?

    when the collision came
    she died right away
    her body flung almost sixty feet
    and as she split in two
    was she coming straight for you?
    and do you have a camera for a face?
    was she your tv show?
    was she your video?
    a woman's pain never private, always seen

    i want to close my eyes
    i want to cut the wires
    i want a day not made for you to see

    when you play it back to me
    it feels more like a parody
    and that's all i will ever be
    it's all i will ever be

    i really don't care about it
    i don't care if it's cold
    i really want to be
    the prettiest wreck you've seen

    (you broadcast it in 50 states
    looped her death on the internet
    and a woman's life got cheaper that day
    a woman's life got cheaper that day)
