New Alchemy

Hey, check out my new alchemy
I call it "You're a Fucking Liar"
When you're done turning lead into gold
let's try art into fire
Let's try art into fire
I wanna set your art on fire.
Well, I may not be young anymore
but I guess I'm still naive
I've been suckered for so long
nothing for it but to keep believing
So, give me your hard sell
Give it to me hard
It'd be a shame to walk away empty-handed
after you've come so far
and we're all walking paychecks
and there's nothing left to do
and I can't reach for my wallet fast enough for you
You're an empty leather jacket
A bar-to-bar salesman
Your desperation is seeping through your clothes
and rationalizations are the only thing you scream anymore
It's all a business and you're the C-E-fucking-O
Hey, check out my new alchemy
it's turning art into fire
Nothing wrong with your industry that can't be fixed with wires
A few short lengths of wire
So, give me your hard sell
Give it to me hard
It'd be a shame to walk away empty-handed
after you've come so far
and we're all walking paychecks
and there's nothing left to do
and I can't reach for my wallet fast enough
I can't reach for my wallet fast enough
I can't reach for my wallet fast enough for you
