Don't Believe A Word
Cigarette's gone, an ember stain
Notes can go on a paper chain
Ever get the feeling that you've been cheated?
Busted up now, been defeated
Awestruck bones, we hold no water
A big fake smile and you try harder
Time wound down and you've been cast
Half measures are all half-assed
How did I ever end up this way?
Life alone in disarray
I cultivate my ignorance
Didn't I have some standers once
I hate you down to your boots
I wanted clever, we settled for cute
And thousands of times I've looked in your eyes
And said,"Remember the times we laughed 'til it dies"
Didn't I love you? You will find no such
And did I not touch you only lesser
Give me back my photos, will you?
You fucking whore, I'll kill you
Don't believe it, just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'
Don't believe it just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'
Every fake is everything
Some dull ache replace the stain
Rap stars brag and shoot each other
It entertains us like no other
We love dogs when they attack
And we love crime when it's black on black
And isn't this you, cruel-hearted fake?
Isn't this more than you can take
Don't believe it, just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll end up screamin'
Pretty soon we'll end up screamin'
Yah
Found a with big yay
For the bullies they always win
All sensation makes no sense
Some men say it in confidence
Isn't this you, cruel-hearted fake?
Isn't this more than you can take?
Scandalize now with such ease
Stress this secular disease
Send a soldier
Squeeze the trigger on the enemies
We're all alive, we're all alone
'Til you come home
'Til you come home
Don't believe it, just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll end up screamin'
