I kept hearing people yell to the stage in Chicago "it's a lie" or something like that. i'm pretty sure Scott said it back. what does it mean? anyone?

Are you talking about in 'Laundry Room'? ...I'm assuming so......Scott usually says it after the line 'Teach me how to use the love that people say you make'...'is it a lie?'
you can make your own interpretation from that...

"Is it a lot?" Or "It's a lot!"

i've also heard people shout "casino" or something like that during "laundry room." anyone know what thats about?
In "Laundry Room," Scott often asks/shouts "Is it alot?" or something else to that effect. I don't know anything about a lie. Strange...

I've always heard "it's a lie". In the Norfolk video, I think he asks, "Is it a lie?".
I assume meaning.....is what people say a lie?

I realized after I posted it that it is only going to confirm what people are already hearing. I do think it confirms what I think, of course, from watching his mouth. but I could be wrong.

I hear "it's a lot"...and that makes more sense anyway...doesn't it? It does to me at least, for what that's worth.

I think it helps when you factor in a slight southern accent also.

hehehe...lie makes more sense to me....
the love that people SAY you make......it's a lie!
somebody 'splain "it's a lot" in context of the lyrics and maybe I'll hear it differently.
I smell a poll.........
KIDDING!!!!!!!!!

So, Wobble, does that mean those two still sound like "lie" to you? cuz I'm still hearing "lot".
Actually, I used to think it was lie the first couple times I heard it AND both options actually make sense to me--I mean, either could fit, as far as I'm concerned. But still see/hear "lot."

Ok Josh, the first vid sounds like "lie", the second sounds like "lot"...and Stirred...your post may have me jumping the fence. I guess I'll have to re-evaluate and make up my mind later....

Another vote for "lie". I'll be sure to watch/listen even more closely the next time I hear it live.

Do you mean when he says "what does he know?" after "disregard your father's words?"

I always hear 'it's a lie.' That seems to fit more with the other things Scott says.
And I just imagined the crowd yelling 'casino' and it made me laugh! What Chilixx said is the only other thing I know he says in that song.

In my opinion this one is "lie" with out a doubt. I remember hearing "its a lie" when i heard it in Cary for the first time.
Another vote for Lie
I hear 'lie' in every video I've seen.
I always heard "lie" as well.
hahaha...casino. that is hilarious. i like that better than what i'm pretty sure he says, which is "what does he know?" as stated above.
voting for 'lie' as well!
Okay, so I guess I'm wrong. crap.

I thought he said, "It's Alive!" but It's a Lie makes more sense. As far as "casino", he actually says "C Note", I think that is what note he is singing there.
boy-o-boy...
Bah hahahaha. You people are funny little critters.
I hear "a lie"
But...uh...don't believe anything I say about lyrics. I'm always wrong.
Therefore, it most be "a lot"
CASINO!!!!!
I've always heard "lie".
Like stirred said: People say you make.
