Working man's day wage, just piss it away
Leaves it out in the weatherFailure, he said, times two breeds contempt
Wash your hands of it foreverViolence, it ripped through the old dogwood fence
See the hope, see it unravelDrunk brother said he could reason with them
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they liedThe picture was left on the front porch, well that's it
I love you, don't you ever think of me?My body knows there's a hell with my soul
We don't even know the differenceThe dead folks in the clouds, for crying out loud
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they liedAnd why, did we live so long?
So long
So longThe house is not the same since we left it that day
Old friends seem to wonder
Our parents had cigarettes, wedding bells
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they liedAnd why, did we live so long?
So long
So longWhile they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied
Oh
