Verse 1
You sold your soul to stay afloat
they raised the stakes to watch you fold
locked the doors and tapped the phones
and you just fled to Mexico
No one's gonna fix all your mistakes
Dancing with the devil, you had better
keep your hands above the waist
Chorus
Everything you touch
will turn to sand
when you see the
world as nothing more
than money in your hand
You'll never get the
chance to understand
just that it's like to
sleep without these
voices in your head
the silent chorus
of the dead you left behind
Interlude
Am--G x2 F--E(hold)
Verse 2
You taste the
treason on her tongue
you settle in the D.C. slum
hilltop house in Washington
that they call the rising sun
She washed the lipstick
smudges from her face
Sleeping with the state
you will eventually
just learn to
love your taste
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
[Listen! Open
the door Fed window!
He has no idea how bad it is
out there! He has no idea!
He has no idea! None! And
Bill Poole? Has no idea!]
A new hope for the poor folks
just a penny to the rich
There's a rally down on one
street as a fire
burns in Kensington
As you carve another
notch into your gun
Set the spark and
take your mark
you've finally got
them on the run
(Repeat Chorus)
