I'm putting your patience to the test
I'm putting your body on the line, for less
And didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours but someone else's voice
Verse One
Slippin' your body through the street
Sending your girlfriends to the night, for cheap
Wearing a jacket made of meat
Sealing a letter made with horse's feet
And now you've heard that...
Chorus One
Waves turn to grey
Life in the shade
A violent crime.
And that's on USA
Platinum's on the rise
Playboys in the sky
I'm just trying' to find
A mountain I can climb >
Pre-Chorus
I'm putting your patience to the test
I'm putting your body on the line, for less
And didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours and it's someone else's voice
And now you've seen that... >
Chorus Two
Blondes turn to grey
Life in the shade
A violent crime
And that's the USA
Porn on the rise
Psycho's in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find
A mountain I can climb >
Bridge
Tell us, are you gonna tell us?
They're gonna be oh so jealous
We're gonna be oh so silent
They're gonna be stoned in silence
(I didn't want to ask you baby)
(I didn't want to have to ask anyone baby)
(Is anyone asking maybe
Can anyone hear me/this shit) >
Why are you waiting behind the door? >
Chorus Three
Life turns to dust
And rain turns to rust
Gossip is a truth
And money pays for the lies we trust
Your love is a surpise
Homeless saints are in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find
A nice place for you and I.
