lyrics

First they try and trip you, and its your fault if you fall. Then they build a room around you and bill you for it all. It aint got no doors nor windows because the ceilings three foot tall. Some call it a coffin but they sell it as a mansion. Your bones begin to soften just before your souls expansion. You're walking down that tunnel and you gotta choose between two doors. If the cold one goes to heaven, well I suggest the one thats warm.

We gave up on the government. We gave up on our jobs. Only way we meet our needs is just go out and rob. I got cash down in my sock and a knife up in my sleeve. You are where you are from, so don't pretend to leave. People judge an author on how he writes the checks. People judge a singer on how much money she collects. People judge an artist on what he's wearing next. People judge a poet by how often hes correct.

I ain't taking you home tonight, honey, because I ain't goin home. I'll just give you directions, you can find it on your own. We'll meet in the middle once this life is through. Neither heaven nor hell wanna deal with me or you.

If I really love you, then I will leave you. When your lips are lying is the only time that I believe you.
