Lyrics

Now I know how the story goes
The wicked all will die
How do you know it?
I just know it
I just know it
Oh I've seen
How this whole thing ends
The honest man survives
How do you know it?
I just know it
I just know it
Not in line with history, oh
Not in line with make-believe
Oh, line by line
Oh, we all scrape by
Oh, line by line
Oh, we all scrape by
Written by: James Hamilton Leithauser, Matthew Frederick Barrick, Paul Maroon, Peter Bauer, Walter Martin
