Dirty Trix
You were my fair-weather friend
"I'm not feeling it" she said
Some things you can't forgive
Beware the fakest smiles
You'll only reap what you sow
You're the fool that follows fools
Be a moral-free zone
Play your cards close to your chest
They say that ignorance is bliss
So don't spend your time alone
Everybody is lost in this world
All the demons that you hide
We're all monkeys on a rock
You're just a blip in infinite space
No trust or honesty
So every dog will have its day
And all of my life
That's all I ever knew
All of my life
I followed all the rules
Play dirty tricks
That's what you've gotta do
To get on in this life, in this life
Be Machiavellian to win
Let the present be your friend
Get along by tricking friends
The baddest person always wins
I don't need the pressure on
Say the opposite of truth
Collect shit and then destroy
Because you just don't do it for me
And all of my life
That's all I ever knew
All of my life
I followed all the rules
Play dirty tricks
That's what you've gotta do
To get on in this life, in this life
"I'm not feeling it" she said
Some things you can't forgive
Beware the fakest smiles
You'll only reap what you sow
You're the fool that follows fools
Be a moral-free zone
Play your cards close to your chest
They say that ignorance is bliss
So don't spend your time alone
Everybody is lost in this world
All the demons that you hide
We're all monkeys on a rock
You're just a blip in infinite space
No trust or honesty
So every dog will have its day
And all of my life
That's all I ever knew
All of my life
I followed all the rules
Play dirty tricks
That's what you've gotta do
To get on in this life, in this life
Be Machiavellian to win
Let the present be your friend
Get along by tricking friends
The baddest person always wins
I don't need the pressure on
Say the opposite of truth
Collect shit and then destroy
Because you just don't do it for me
And all of my life
That's all I ever knew
All of my life
I followed all the rules
Play dirty tricks
That's what you've gotta do
To get on in this life, in this life
