Song lyrics

Send "Rebellion (Lies)" ringtones to your cell

Sleeping is giving in, no matter what the time is 
Sleeping is giving in, so lift those heavy eyelids 
People say that you'll die faster than without water 
But we know it's just a lie, scare your son, scare your daughter 

People say that your dreams are the only things that save ya 
Come on baby, in our dreams, we can live our misbehaviour 

Everytime you close your eyes (Lies, Lies) [4x] 
Everytime you close your eyes [4x] 

People try and hide the night underneath the covers 
People try and hide the light underneath the covers 
Come on hide your lovers underneath the covers 
Come on hide your lovers underneath the covers 
Hide it from your brothers underneath the covers 
Come on hide your lovers underneath the covers 

People say that you'll die faster than without water 
But we know it's just a lie, scare your son, scare your daughter 
To scare your son, to scare your daughter 
To scare your son, to scare your daughter 

Now here's the sun, it's alright (Lies, Lies) 
Now here's the moon, it's alright (Lies, Lies) 
Now here's the sun, it's alright (Lies, Lies) 
Now here's the moon, it's alright (Lies, Lies) 

But everytime you close your eyes (Lies, Lies) 
Everytime you close your eyes (Lies, Lies) 
Everytime you close your eyes (Lies, Lies) 
Everytime you close your eyes (Lies, Lies) 

Everytime you close your eyes [x3]

10 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I couldn't wait till September 14th for this cd to come out, and it is by far the best one of 2004. This is probably my 3rd favorite from the album, Laika being 1st and Crown of Love being 2nd. I've heard that their live shows are amazing, and even just from seeing them perform 'Laika' on Conan O'Brien I could tell it be an awesome experience. I just wish they'd come closer to middle of nowhere Kentucky again so I could actually go this time.

19 posts	No one who likes real music would call this garbage. It's better than practically everything else out there in the music world. They have emerged as a great talent and, to all you haters out there (Indie Brain and you people), go back to your corner and whine about it to people who are just stuck up like yourself. Ok. Anyway, another great song!!!

1 posts	I'm going to have to agree with INDIE BRAIN on this one. Compared to Arcade Fire's other hits, this song is a bit overrated.
