this life could be the death of us hung from the bible belt all good cops get into heaven but all my friends go straight to hell these days are spent trading in cheap, white lies I'll paint them black and call it a night
I tried but the light was never enough this life could be the death of us
the civil lies, so civilized they sell the slaves their cells "give us this day, our daily spell: all is well that ends, oh well" destroy what destroys you, despair of despair I pledge allegence to Nowhere
I swear to a god that I don't believe in fuck forgiveness, I'm going to get even I wasn't born to die between 9 and 5 I swear to a god that I don't believe in fuck forgiveness, I'm going to get even:
for every day I woke up dead for highways clogged with cattle fat for the kids who slept through middle-class with american dreams they'll never have
I tried but the light was never enough this life could be the death of us but I deny a life that will never be mine kill the cop inside your mind and burn it fucking down
