Текст песни

And when the underworld's best kept secret
Saw its own reflection
I knew things had finally changed
For better or worse
Whatever, as always

When the mid-life fires start to burn
And burned down our one protection
I won't take pictures from their frame
Whatever, as always

When the hands that sold me everything
Slapped a price tag on my chest
I bit my tongue and shut my mouth
And tried to blend in with the rest
But I'm a square peg, I'm a sore thumb

And it seems to me this apathy
Kills the life in artistry
And leaves us ankle deep in industry

All those songs sound so damn good
Even if their meaning's hollow
But hollow words dry out your mouth
You might find it hard to swallow
All the shit that we keep feeding
To keep ourselves and you believing
That no money could change us
Then a door opens up and some devil persuades us

The songs we sung
When we were just young
Have all lost their meaning
But there's still a few things that we keep on believing

Shitty music just ain't worth makin'
Smiles and thank-yous just ain't worth fakin'
Some assholes' hands just ain't worth shakin'
And if it ain't broken, we need to break it

There's no such thing as unconditional
Though contracts bind you in the end
Make no mistake, this is a killing ground
Blood-hungry and camoflaged as friends
Select 'yes' at the end of this mess
If you get there
And it's your only fucking 'option' left

These days, I don't know the people I'm supposed to trust
And I don't trust these people that I'm supposed to know
The handlebars on my dreams slowly start to rust
They'll take everything and somehow you still owe
As the cocaine cowboys finally get their wings
And sell them all for blow

I make music for myself
Not for hat-tips from the upper-tier and their undeserved wealth
Here's to their failing fucking health

I don't mean this in a hateful way
But when the people you love start walking away
The walls get tighter each and every day
You better take your last bite before it crumbles away
And there's something inside me I just have to say
Love nothing, trust no one
Just live for the motherfucking day
