Working man's day wage, just piss it away

Leaves it out in the weather



Failure, he said, times two breeds contempt

Wash your hands of it forever



Violence it ripped through the old dogwood fence

See the hope, see it unravel



Drunk brother said he could reason with them

While they lied at night, they lied at night, ??

While they lied at night, they lied at night, ??



The picture was left on the front porch, well that's it

I love you, don't you ever become ??



My body knows there's a hell with my soul

We don't even know the difference



The dead folks in the clouds, for crying out loud

While they lied at night, they lied at night, ??

While they lied at night, they lied at night, ??



And why, did we live so long

So long

So long

The house is not the same since we left it that day

Old friends seem to wonder

Our parents had cigarettes, wedding bells

While they lied at night, they lied at night, ??

While they lied at night, they lied at night, ??



And why, did we live so long

So long

So long



[bridge]



While they lied at night, they lied at night, ??

While they lied at night, they lied at night, ??

While they lied at night, they lied at night, ??

Oh....
