Lyrics:Rebellion (Lies) [Version (a)]:
(from April 20, 2014 live version)
Sleeping is giving in
No matter what the time is
Sleeping is giving in
Lift those weary eyelids
People say you'll die fast
Faster than without water
But we know it's just a lie
Scare your son, scare your daughter
The Song:"Rebellion (Lies)" can be found on Arcade Fire's first album,
Funeral.
At Coachella 2014, Beck performed on the two Sunday nights, immediately preceding the headliner, Arcade Fire. During the second weekend, Beck told a story about seeing Arcade Fire perform years earlier at a small bar in Los Angeles, before they were huge. His story led to him performing a snippet of their "Rebellion (Lies)" on acoustic guitar.
