Did you hear the latest one About the footprints on your back About how they lied About how they stole To keep each other in the black I really wonder when it all comes down Who will be dancing at the finish line Ten to one it'll be the ones without a spine Once again the truth fades into extinction Short and sweet, this might burn a little now It burns a little now I've stopped looking for the medicine I've stopped thinking it won't happen again It's one thing to accept it Another thing to let it catch you from behind To shake you down To live with it And not make a sound I've stopped looking for the medicine I'm so sick that we're surprised Everytime we're shown that power corrupts Thump our chests at the man on the screen Cursing the green Tell ourselves that enough is enough Another day Another dollar Another way to live with a life so intolerable
