Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nothing breeds more contempt for this world
Than the memories now formed
Every moment, a new seed is grown
To no reason, the trouble unfolds
[Verse 2]
For the trials of today
I'm no jury, really don't care how you feel
The pleasant notion of miraculous change
Drifts into multiple jeers
[PreChorus]
Jeers
Jeers
[Chorus]
You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers
You snap your neck
[Verse 3]
Seconds drip through my hands
Washed off moments unborn
All the spaces between bleed
A tribute to a sacrament never exposed
[Verse 4]
A message to the forces
I've no pity, don't know how thankful to feel
Expectations of my daily bread
Gives me the hunger to steal
[Chorus]
You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers
You snap your neck
[Chorus]
You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers
You snap your neck
[Chorus]
You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers
You snap your neck
Ah
[Chorus]
Ah
You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers
You snap your neck
[Chorus]
You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers
You snap your neck
[Outro]
Snap your fingers, snap your neck
Snap your fingers, snap your neck
Snap your fingers, snap your neck
Snap your fingers, snap your neck
