Verse 1
Cigarette fingers ember stain
Incriminating notes on a paper chain
Did you ever get the
feeling that you've been cheated?
I wanna bust out
I've not been defeated
We're all strong bones they hold no water
Got the whiplash smile this gets harder
Time has wound down and now we've been cached
Because half measures are all half-assed and
how did we ever end up this way
and I don't know I'm in disarray
Cultivating my ignorance--
didn't we have some standards once?
I hate you and your cowboy boots
though we wanted clever we settled for stupid
Do it always so indiscreet
like a bad boyfriend he's a dirty little cheat
Refrain
It's a shallow vicious state of mind
like an angry child getting dumped online
And give me back my photos will you
---- x4
you fucking whore I'll kill you!
Chorus 1
(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word
(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing
(Don't believe) cause pretty soon that
good King George will wake up screaming
Verse 2
Our soundtrack is a soul less thing
some dull ache replace the sting
Rap stars brag about shooting each other?
Whatever happened to "brother brother"?
We like thugs when they attack and
We like crime when it's black-on-black and
Isn't this you, cruel-hearted fake?
And isn't this more than you can take?
Chorus 2
(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word
(Don't believe) Just walk on by
(Don't believe it) cause this moment
will pass and then we
can all get high yeah
(Don't believe it) Don't believe it
(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing
(Don't believe) cause pretty soon that
good King George will wake up screaming
Bridge
Wake up screaming Ha ha
Wake up screaming
Yeahhh! x4
Verse 3
Round up all the big lynch pins
Hope we don't get fooled again!
All sensation makes no sense
you got some insane confidence
I can't find myself I can't change the station
in this corporate sell-out hillbilly nation
Scandalize now with such ease
America give me back my keys
Sand it blows a soldier squeeze
trigger on fake enemies
we're all abroad and all alone
till you come home bring them home
Chorus 3
(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word
(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing
(Don't believe) cause pretty soon that
good King George will wake up screaming
don't believe a word
don't believe a word no!
don't believe a word
(hold)x6
don't believe a word
