I see right through you when you sing it back to me I read that fine print and I saw you staggering Regurgitate the shit you find in the dirty dreams of a rapist's mind Congratulate the corpse you drag, put the money in the body bag Right in front of us The stop and start machine You've been singing with the liar's tongue With every crippled word you said to me With every fractured breath and broken glare You were pawning off your babies' debt with a cold paycheck Abandon what you built Repair your hope with guilt There's nothing left here to suffocate With razor wire arms you reach and miss the throat There's nothing left to love about this city anymore The politics and the hired whore Now, save your breath Now, into your mouth Did this to yourself You can't repair the punctured lung Secrets seep thru the stress cracks Shut your mouth I read the fine print Now, shut your mouth You did this to yourself Now shut your mouth and pay the rent You say it Like your life depends on believing in your own lie I see right thru you when you sing it Sing it back to me Now, say it like your life depends on believing in your own lie
