I see right through you when you sing it back to me

I read that fine print and I saw you staggering

Regurgitate the shit you find in the dirty dreams of a rapist's mind

Congratulate the corpse you drag, put the money in the body bag

Right in front of us

The stop and start machine

You've been singing with the liar's tongue

With every crippled word you said to me

With every fractured breath and broken glare

You were pawning off your babies' debt with a cold paycheck

Abandon what you built

Repair your hope with guilt

There's nothing left here to suffocate

With razor wire arms you reach and miss the throat

There's nothing left to love about this city anymore

The politics and the hired whore

Now, save your breath

Now, into your mouth

Did this to yourself

You can't repair the punctured lung

Secrets seep thru the stress cracks

Shut your mouth

I read the fine print

Now, shut your mouth

You did this to yourself

Now shut your mouth and pay the rent

You say it

Like your life depends on believing in your own lie

I see right thru you when you sing it

Sing it back to me

Now, say it like your life depends on believing in your own lie
