about

A politically-charged track about the advantages that come along with being in the upper class.

lyrics

Born in a haze
Can’t count your days because you never tried
no you never tried
Tired of the way
You never have to pay for your boring crime
We’re running out of time

Don’t you think I wouldn’t want to know
If I thought it was true
Crooked smile and a heart of gold
Darling I’ve have just enough of you

Not afraid of the fame if I’m someone to blame,
And I’m bored to tears from a lack of fears
An open door may tempt a saint
But I don’t want to know the rate of this
And all It’s gone,
and all of this,
and all it’s gone

Don’t you think I wouldn’t want to know
If I thought it was true
Crooked smile and a heart of gold
Darling I’ve have just enough of you

Love to win
You need to win
This contract now is sink or swim
Love to win
You need to win
This contract now is sink or swim
You say it every time
“I never meant to hurt”
That’s a lie
You say it every time
“I never meant to hurt”
That’s a lie

No that's a lie
