Lyrics

[Verse 1]
80’s people dancing, oh
Always get it right
I'd listen but I can't tonight
I can't tonight, I can't tonight
Well, it's something that you do to get it right
End up reviled for it
Yeah, that's the thanks I get
[Verse 2]
I don't understand
Your fucked up system
This sinister city
Try to sell the water
Try to sell the air
Try to sell your daughter
Try to sell her hair
[Verse 3]
We all want to watch the fight
Is it on Sunday?
Hide in a hole with a gun in your hand in front of
Someone you want dead, I guess
Hiding in your suit
[Verse 4]
I did not know that
They're bringing me back to my past
I got my head in my hands
I got my head in my
I got my head in my hands
I got my head in my
I got my head
It's just something that you do to get it right
End up reviled for it
Yeah, that's the thanks I get
[Verse 5]
Jail, that's what you get
Stepping to the system
Profiting from war
Fighting as the victim
Always wanting more
Trying to trick your brothers
Get them to fight it for you
[Verse 6]
I cannot believe my eyes
Darling I can tell you lies
Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago
I don't know geography all that well
Yeah
[Verse 7]
Defying Western logic
Even if it shows you're wrong
I guess that's a classic
Been with us all along
