lyrics

You used the credit card to buy the groceries and a cash advance to pay for your lease
And the paper said that your neighbor came home in a body bag - oh no

You grit your teeth, swallow nails and think 'what a good waste of a life'
Driving home you see a homeless vet whose shopping cart just capsized - oh no

Now you don't believe anything you read you can tell what's real from what's on TV
And it's no surprise when you dig the roots intertwine

After all you should've never spent so time believing all the lies
The press, their bankers and the government live to pull the wool over your eyes
And do their crimes right in plain sight

What they said is never close to what they meant
But as long as you believe it most of the time
It makes it that much easier
And they deceive you
And do their crimes right in plain sight

After all, what did you expect when trust is in such short supply?
Even priests have lawyers, guns and PR hacks to craft their alibis
What do you have?
What don't you have?

After all, what did you expect?
