Built on Lies
Pay your debts and keep your promises
And your woman satisfied
Cause what you love is the only thing worth fighting for
It can be gone in the blink of an eye
Long ago we were robbed of our innocence
The dream they sold you was a lie
To you my friends I think it's time we should thrive again
It's not too late to turn the tide
Tell em you're goddamn right we're gonna live our lives
The best we can in these troubled times
There's more to this than to simply exist
In a world that was built on lies
In a world that was built on lies
Pay your debts and take your medicine
And keep your passions locked away
Break your back for a pension and a heart attack
Thirty long years to the day
Bought and sold show your scars it's the evidence
When there's nothing left to say
Tell em you're goddamn right we're gonna live our lives
The best we can in these troubled times
There's more to this than to simply exist
In a world that was built on lies
In a world that was built on lies
Tell em you're goddamn right we're gonna live our lives
The best we can in these troubled times
There's more to this than to simply exist
In a world that was built on lies
In a world that was built on lies
In a world that was built on lies
And your woman satisfied
Cause what you love is the only thing worth fighting for
It can be gone in the blink of an eye
Long ago we were robbed of our innocence
The dream they sold you was a lie
To you my friends I think it's time we should thrive again
It's not too late to turn the tide
Tell em you're goddamn right we're gonna live our lives
The best we can in these troubled times
There's more to this than to simply exist
In a world that was built on lies
In a world that was built on lies
Pay your debts and take your medicine
And keep your passions locked away
Break your back for a pension and a heart attack
Thirty long years to the day
Bought and sold show your scars it's the evidence
When there's nothing left to say
Tell em you're goddamn right we're gonna live our lives
The best we can in these troubled times
There's more to this than to simply exist
In a world that was built on lies
In a world that was built on lies
Tell em you're goddamn right we're gonna live our lives
The best we can in these troubled times
There's more to this than to simply exist
In a world that was built on lies
In a world that was built on lies
In a world that was built on lies
