lyrics

A handshake used to mean something
Now you're gonna look me in the eye when you lie to me
Back slap, faking friendly
Got me questioning decisions of heredity
Infuriating way with words
No clear way to dispel a curse
Backstabbed, fed piles of scraps
Quick to sell, not built to last

Our lives are just a shadow of other life
The act of thinking clearly seems not to cross minds
Well I hope there's a choice left when the time comes
Lives on the run

Cadillac daddy making nice with his loan
Would live to see the profits blown
All the crazyness wouldn't leave him alone
Had some help so the fault wasn’t his own
OK team now count to 3
We all cash out and split the scene
Leave the little guy to fill the seams

Our lives are just a shadow of other life
The act of thinking clearly seems not to cross minds
Well I hope there's a choice left when the time comes
Lives on the run

Hold on tight on, and I won’t let go
Stand and fight, the one thing you know
