I read the mail today

they're throwing me out of town

there isn't any way

i get to stick around



they took my stereo

when i turned the volume up

and when i gave them drugs

they couldn't get enough



turn the tourniquet

'till i'm sick of it

see the other side

always overdrawn

feeling like a pawn

somebody lied

somebody lied



i got the news today

they'll tear my appartment down

there isn't any way

i get to stick around



i never thought i'd see

new condos going up

and now i've gotta scream

that i've had enough



turn the tourniquet

i'm so sick if it

where's the other side

no more bills to pay

neighbors gone away

semebody died

somebody lied



turn the tourniquet

i'm so sick of it

where's the other side

no more bills to pay

somebody lied.
