When lies serve as substitution A new twist on an old solution They took your freedom away
The new rights gotta keep you guessing A Quick close with a signed confession
A child's tear froma broken heart Another family's ripped apart And the streets are empty Just don't let them catch you out at night
Nobody gets to have it all The lucky ones only take the fall It's a game and they picked your name
You're just a player in a house of cards Pleading guilty to a lesser charge
It's hard enough to stay alive Another town's locked into a slow decay With all it's young men they're locked away
